This paper discusses the research results and reflection on competences, especially didactic competences of geography teachers and candidates for geography teachers in the aspect of challenges which education faces nowadays.

Personal and interpersonal competencies graduates of higher education significantly affect his chances in the labour market. A profile of the graduate should also help potential employers choose competent employees. Author of this paper believes that the acquisition of the appropriate competences by geography students – candidates for teachers constitutes the most important element in professional training of the future teacher including a geography teacher.

Professional career has become an increasingly frequently chosen subject of theoretical research based on numerous sciences, such as psychology, sociology, economics, pedagogy, and management. Constantly emerging, new theories of professional development provide a new perspective on this issue. A plethora of contemporary transformations obliges an individual to take responsibility for his or her own professional biography. If every person carries out a career, regardless of its quality, and if that career lasts for the person’s whole lifetime, both throughout the period of professional activity and the time of preparation preceding it, one can presume that the choice of career requires reflection and in-depth conceptual considerations, which proves its significance for the subject.

As a consequence of globalization human life is subjected to many mechanisms that go along with it for example homogenization, culture diffusion, consumptionism, relativism and constant change, which lead to unreflectiveness affecting all aspects of human life. A human beeing exists in a common reality in accordance to a very flexible scenario, without much thought about the sense of existence. This situation reflects on education, which should concentrate on efficent spreading of knowledge and skills necessary to live in current conditions, which are a source of many chances but also dangers. Those changes can’t be analyzed without taking markets into consideration, understood as having and usefulness. Those trends cause the „production” of alumni that are very efficient from an economical point of view and oriented on self realization, but aren’t oriented on reflective exploration of the world. This situation results in comparing humans to machines and in an obsessive want of getting a diploma which certifies obtaining education understood as a commodity. This in turn is an incentive to reflect upon the foundations of education a process that is the most important investment in the development of human capital.

Women show greater and greater activity on the job market, they obtain better positions, salaries, etc. However, the statistics concerning their professional activity differ from those of men. We should take into consideration the fact that women are the ones who give birth to children and, in majority, take care of their upbringing, especially in the first years of child’s life. Policies of particular states are different in terms of the amount and availability of family benefits, and that can be reflected in women’s willingness to return to work.

The objective of the paper is to analyze the skills and attitudes of Generation Z in Poland in order to update and systematize data on features of all generations that are active in the Polish labour market. The issue deserves research due to the specific perception of work and business by young people, which, by affecting their motivation, forces companies to modify their operations. Employee engagement programmes must be adjusted to the skills and preferences of individualists, who are proficient in Internet use, but inconsistent in their decisions or endeavors and not prepared for teamwork. Short attention span and short-lived interests of young staff, which require a kinesthetic, multimodal working environment, may disrupt a traditional company culture. Communication with Generation Z, used to ongoing communication and co-creating, is a serious challenge to managers. Low levels of soft skills and economic literacy may undermine the benefits from excellent adaptability of the young generation. Tabular summaries of generation-based characteristics will be presented. The paper is based on the literature on the older generations as well as reports and statistics on Generation Z.

The object of the study are the major tendencies observed on the job markets of highly developed countries. Apart from a few exceptions most of them have a high unemployment rate. The growing costs accompanying employment are an obstacle to raising the level of employment. In many countries those costs are already nearly equivalent to the wages. On the other hand, the progressing process of diffusion of new information transmission technologies has led to a noticeable shift from work contracts to various untypical forms of employment. A high level of efficiency achieved by the OECD countries makes it possible to ensure an appropriate standard of living with a decreasing level of employment. Thus, at the beginning of the 21st century shortening of work time has become a rule. This is done by various methods, the most popular one being part-time employment. It must be remembered, however, that limitation of work time is not always seen as justified by the person to whom it pertains.

The aim of the article is to identify the reasons for low employment rates of people with disabilities in Poland, and to examine whether employers, disabled employees and other staff want to talk about the rational use of the rights of a disabled employee and what views, opinions or other circumstances can make it difficult. Four hypotheses were formulated in the work, which were verified on the basis of surveys and interviews conducted in the period from March to September 2017 in the Voivodship of Silesia. The considerations were rounded off with conclusions and comments.

The effectiveness of an employee's performance in a free market economy is closely connected with the employee's professional development. This is why it is vital anticipate both effective self-fulfilment in terms of performing professional duties and achievement of particular professional results/success. Accomplishment of personal and corporate aims is significant, too. What also matters is one's awareness of the responsibility for one's performance at work, ongoing development of one's skills/competence and self-assessment in terms of one's professional potential.

In this sense, career is the sequence of experiences of a particular individual, linked with the quality of a professional life; this is a unique structure, resulting from autonomous choices.

The narrative used in the article refers to the interpretational complexity of the phenomenon of contemporary society. Globalization fulfills a wide spectrum of the global world phenomena in the situation of unobviousness, diversity, ambivalence and ambiguity, which influence the new quality of sociocultural life. Trying to understand the content given to the distinguished definitions of society, intellectuals refer to the theory of the social development and to the interpretation of the mechanisms of a social change, with a focus on the spheres of social life, which are the impulses for changes taking place in the society. Emphasizing heterogeneity and changeability of forms of postmodern social organization, one may point to the following orientations capturing subtleness of the contemporary society: orientation to a global change, orientation to a certain type of civilization ascription to risk, orientation to responsibility, orientation to anticipation, orientation to responsible participation and cooperation in a changing and interdependent global society, orientation to knowledge, orientation to experience borrowed from the media, orientation to the consumption ideology. Society faces the task of selfdetermination in the situation of non-obviousness, risk, fragmentation and ambiguity. By no accident then, were the the globalizational processes in the world and a critical and permanent thought and evaluation of the changes taking place in the modern global society, in the focus of the authoress. Paying attention to the quality of the global “cultural ecumene” (U. Hannerz) inclines reflection about global changes in lifestyles which is meaningful for the quality of changes in the job world and career planning and career management practices. The sequential development of an individual (which is integrally linked with the career development) constitutes the essence of the process, which is lifelong. The economy which is based on knowledge determines the orientation on knowledge of the contemporary society. The development of careers of members in such a society is its crucial element. Moreover, the quality of socio-cultural and economic changes will demand constant career management and modification of its individualized paths.

W dobie kryzysu gospodarczego często mówi się o konkurencyjności, nie tylko tej związanej z produkcją i różnymi branżami oraz tej w sferze usług, ale również szeroko pojętej, dotyczącej funkcjonowania jednostek na rynku pracy. Obecnie osoby podejmujące pracę, a zwłaszcza ludzie młodzi, bez doświadczenia zawodowego, powinny posiadać wiele cech wyróżniających je spośród innych kandydatów. Mowa tu nie tylko o formalnych kwalifikacjach czy kompetencjach, ale o zachowaniach związanych z efektywnym, skutecznym planowaniem oraz działaniem mającym na celu realizację planów zawodowych i rozwojem ich kariery zawodowej. Taki przejaw aktywności można określić mianem postaw proaktywnych. Niniejszy tekst stanowi raport z przeprowadzonych badań wśród studentów największych lubelskich uczelni kończących edukację wyższą. Na podstawie Skali Zachowań Proaktywnych w Karierze Augustyna Bańki wyróżniono cztery czynniki postawy proaktywnej, tj. proaktywność ogólną, poznawczą, proaktywność w nawiązywaniu kontaktów i budowaniu sieci wsparcia oraz proaktywność w budowaniu komfortu psychicznego w korzystaniu z sieci wsparcia. Wyniki badań wskazały, iż badani młodzi dorośli w zdecydowanej większości wykazują się jedynie przeciętnym poziomem proaktywności. Wyniki w poszczególnych czynnikach składających się na efektywne i skuteczne planowanie swojej kariery nieznacznie różnią się między sobą.

At the time of economic crisis, competitiveness is the concept that reappears in different contexts. Competitiveness is related not only to production and different services but also to the functioning of an individual on the job market. People who undertake a new job, especially young people without previous professional experience, should have such traits that would distinguish them from other candidates. These traits include not only formal qualifications or competences, but also behaviours connected with effective and efficient planning and activities whose aim is to achieve professional goals and to develop professional career, which can be defined as proactive behavior. The article discusses a study conducted among students graduating from the biggest universities in Lublin. On the basis of Augustyn Bańka’s Scale of Proactive Behaviours in Career, the author of the study has identified four elements of proactive behaviours: general proactivity, cognitive proactivity, proactivity in entering new contacts and constructing establishing the networks of support, and proactivity in building mental comfort through the use of networks of support. The results of the study have revealed that young adults exhibit an average level of proactivity. The differences between the respective elements contributing to the effective and efficient career planning were insignificant.

Celem niniejszego artykułu było zanalizowanie wymogów stawianych uczelniom przez ich głównych interesariuszy – społeczeństwo jako całość, studentów oraz środowisko pracodawców, dotyczących przygotowania studentów na potrzeby rynku pracy. Przeprowadzono badania danych statystycznych oraz raportów instytucji i zespołów naukowców. Wynika z nich, iż przy wyborze kierunku studiów i uczelni studenci coraz bardziej zwracają uwagę na możliwość uzyskania atrakcyjnej pracy po ukończeniu nauki. Wydaje się, że MNiSW w coraz większym stopniu wspiera działania uczelni, mające na celu urynkowienie oferty dydaktycznej. Istnieją jednak znaczące różnice w poglądach co do efektów owych działań prezentowanych przez głównych interesariuszy – zarzuty wobec poziomu wykształcenia absolwentów zgłaszają przede wszystkim pracodawcy, sygnalizując obszary luk kompetencyjnych. W środowisku akademickim trwa dyskusja na temat dalszych zmian, w szczególności dotyczących profilu praktycznego studiów. Wydaje się jednakże, iż działania dotyczące dostosowania oferty uczelni do rynku pracy idą w dobrym kierunku.

The aim of this article was to analyze the requirements of major stakeholders of higher education institutions – the society as a whole, students and employers, concerning educating students for the needs of the labor market. Statistical data and reports of various institutions and research teams were analyzed. As a result, one can draw a conclusion that when choosing their studies and the school, students are increasingly paying attention to the prospects of acquiring a good job after graduation. It seems that the MSHE is increasingly supporting the activities of higher schools aimed at the marketization of the didactic offer. Still, there are considerable differences in opinions concerning the effects of these actions presented by major stakeholders, especially employers. They raise concerns about the level of education of graduates, signaling areas of competency gaps. Academic debate on further changes is underway, particularly on the practical profile of studies. It seems, however, that actions to adapt the offer of higher schools to the labor market are moving in the right direction.

Jedno z największych wyzwań współczesnego rynku pracy stanowią zmiany demograficzne. Implikuje to konieczność zainteresowania problemami osób starszych, a zwłaszcza podejmowaniem przez nich aktywności zawodowej. Aspekt ten w istotny sposób wpisuje się w koncepcję aktywnego starzenia się i wiąże z ponownym wejściem na rynek pracy osób, które przeszły już na emeryturę. Wielu z nich nie zaprzestaje aktywności zawodowej i chętnie podejmuje ją ponownie, ale też wielu wycofuje się z podejmowania jakiejkolwiek aktywności. Interesujący punkt widzenia w tym zakresie stanowić mogą wyniki badań przeprowadzonych wśród słuchaczy Kazimierzowskiego Uniwersytetu Trzeciego Wieku w Bydgoszczy. Skłaniają one do refleksji, na ile podejmowanie aktywności zawodowej przez osoby starsze jest konieczne, a na ile staje się ich prawem i wolnym wyborem. Ważne jest to, aby brak aktywności zawodowej seniorów nie prowadził do ich marginalizacji i odizolowania społecznego.

One of the greatest challenges of today's job market are demographic changes, which implies that one must get interested in the problems of senior citizens, especially seniors pursuing their careers. That aspect is definitely part of the concept of active ageing and requires old-age pensioners (OAPs) to re-enter the job market. Many OAPs never stop their careers or are eager to pursue their careers again, however there are many who withdraw from their careers. An interesting approach is offered by the results of the research performed among the students of the Kazimierz Wielki University of the Third Age in Bydgoszcz; the results make one reflect on to what extent pursuing a career by senior citizens is necessary and to what extent it becomes their right and choice. What is important is that not pursuing a career does not make seniors marginalized and isolated from the society.

The article constitutes a description of the project taking place at one of Polish universities1. The authors have been trying to point out the fact that applying a coaching method could help persons with disabilities achieve their professional goals by discovering their potential. When pursuing their plans, persons with disabilities often come across obstacles that prevent them from achieving their goals that are present in their closest environment. The authors have pointed out that applying appropriately selected tools during training courses and coaching sessions will allow students to overcome the barriers to obtain their dream jobs. This article has two parts. The first part presents a theoretical discussion on the concept of coaching. The second part, empirical, describes assumptions of the project that is being implemented at one of the universities. The assumptions to the project included an analysis of students’ disabilities and suggested the most effective coaching tools compatible with students’ disabilities. The analyses constitute introduction to further actions such as the implementation of coaching tools and results’ analysis.

Artykuł stanowi opis projektu realizowanego na jednej z polskich uczelni wyższych. Autorzy starali się zwrócić uwagę na fakt, iż zastosowanie metody coachingu mogłoby pomóc osobom z niepełnosprawnościami w realizacji założonych celów zawodowych poprzez odkrywanie swojego potencjału. Osoby niepełnosprawne często bowiem napotykają na przeszkody w realizacji swoich założeń między innymi ze względu na przeszkody w otoczeniu. Autorzy zwrócili uwagę na to, że zastosowanie odpowiednio dobranych narzędzi podczas szkoleń i sesji coachingowych pozwoli studentom na pokonywanie barier w zdobywaniu upragnionego miejsca pracy. Artykuł składa się z dwóch części. Pierwszą stanowią rozważania teoretyczne na temat pojęcia coachingu. Drugą stanowi część empiryczna polegająca na opisie założeń do projektu, który jest prowadzony w jednej z uczelni wyższych w Poznaniu. W założeniach do projektu dokonano analizy niepełnosprawności studentów oraz zaproponowano najbardziej efektywne narzędzia coachingowe dla osób z konkretnymi niepełnosprawnościami. Analizy stanowią wstęp do kolejnych działań polegających na implementacji narzędzi coachingowych oraz analizie rezultatów.
