In a pandemic situation, anxiety about work has added to anxiety about the perceived threat to health or life. Job insecurity is a stressor that causes deterioration of mental and physical health, but also leads to behaviors that have negative consequences for the organization. The anxiety related to fears about the future of work may be increased due to limited contacts with co-workers (remote work, forced downtime) and social isolation, while social support is one of the most important stress buffer factors. In this article, we present the results of research on the construction of a scale for measuring job uncertainty during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Higher education has become one of the key elements in building a competitive advantage for today’s knowledge-based economies. Universities are no longer just places traditionally associated with the transmission of knowledge but must also increasingly respond to the processes of marketisation and commercialisation. We observe dynamic social changes in higher education: the increase in the number of people studying at university level, flexibility of studying and learning programs, competing for students as a result of demographic processes, the risk of unemployment and competence mismatch among fresh graduates have become major challenges for universities. In this paper I will briefly discuss the neoliberal reform of higher education in Taiwan. In the last two decades, this small country in the Pacific Ocean has experienced extremely dynamic changes in the functioning of their higher education system and has become an important player in the global education market.

The aim of the article is to show the role of advisory effects in the development of students' professional capital. The context of deliberations is a social debate concerning if and to what extent the offer of Polish schools corresponds to labour market needs. The article presents both modern labour market expectations towards students and general assessment criteria of potential employers suitability. Therefore, key categories are concepts of employability and professional capital. Two basic advisory strategies aimed at students were analyzed. The first one is advisory conducted by Academic Career Services and the second is academic advisory. Academic advisory is presented as an alternative to career counselling traditionally conducted at universities. The article presents possibilities of using this advisory strategy in the process of improving students' professional competence and qualifications.

The changes taking place in the modern societies, and in particular the changes on the job market, have resulted in several individual consequences. The particular area of interest is the process of human development, up till now explained with the aid of models based on stages of development. These stages assume that the growth and improvement change in terms of quality and at the same time they marginalize the ideas of repetition, reduction and standstill. The aim of this paper is to discuss the contemporary psychological theories and concepts behind the mechanisms regulating the process of transition from vocational education to work. The paper presents the basic theories of Human Agents by Albert Bandura. In its light the mechanisms of self-efficacy are discussed as the most important regulators of vocational activities. Following that, Human Agents concept continuation by Augustyn Bańka is also cited, in particular, the mechanisms regulating the course of vocational career. Empirical relations between the attitudes of young adults entering job market and their perception of self-efficacy are also presented.

Research background: A common problem of employing the Czech unemployed (especially young people) is that their professional and personal qualities often do not meet the re-quirements of employers. Despite the increasing level of education, the unemployment of young generation of millennials has been worsening. It seems that they often lack relevant professional skills and social habits, and usually have unreal expectations about their initial job opportunities. We want to explore this problem in more detail. Purpose of the article: The purpose of the article is to present work expectations of today's Czech millennials and post-millennials and discuss their potential employability on the Czech labor market. Methods: The paper is based on the analysis of available scientific literature and the results of the authors' questionnaire survey focused on students of three selected Czech universities and their motivation to study at university and their expectations about the future career. The survey was conducted in spring and autumn 2016. The respondents were full-time and com-bined bachelor's and master's students of the College of Regional Development in Prague, the Masaryk Institute of Advanced Studies of the Czech Technical University in Prague and the Education Management Centre of the Faculty of Education of the Charles University in Prague. The relevant data were obtained from 484 students. Findings & Value added: The results support the research assumption that young generation of Czech millennials show relatively high expectations related to work and career, which would limit their employability. Many employers are afraid of employing young people, but from the perspective of potential shortage of qualified and motivated people on the Czech labor market they should learn to create appropriate and attractive employment opportunities for young people to ensure effective development of their potential. The article presents common work expectations of today's Czech millennials and provides employers with some advice to manage them.

Employability, understood as a set of achievements – skills, knowledge, personal qualities – that make graduates employable and successful in their profession, is more and more often a subject of research, both in the context of improving the educational offer of universities, as well as examining the quality of life and professional satisfaction of graduates. Employability is differentiated from employment – the state of having a job. In today’s unstable job market where temporary contracts and protean-type careers dominate – equipping graduates with the resources to effectively change or modify their career path is crucial. The paper aims to present the psychometric proprieties of a Polish adaptation of the A. Rothwell and Arnold Self-Perceived Employability Scale. The final version consists of 9 items and has good psychometric properties. The study of the perceived employability of students provides important knowledge regarding the graduates’ competencies, and it is an important factor in modifying the educational offer at universities and planning graduates’ satisfying careers in the contemporary unstable job market.

A mismatch between qualifications and skills demanded and supplied is one of the main problems in the labor market. It concerns also higher education graduates. They have the theoretical background, however their abilities to apply knowledge in a work situation are insufficient. The main aim of this paper is to present the contribution of the internship program to the employability of graduates of University of Bielsko-Biala. The paper consists of three parts. The first describes changes in unemployment by educational background in the Bielsko-Biała labor market in 2010–2015. The second part includes employment prospects for graduates, with a special focus on the benefits of the internship program. The final part emphasizes the role of cooperation between the university and employers to ensure better preparation of graduates for the labor market. The paper was based on available statistical data on unemployment in the Bielsko-Biała labor market, and on the results of the surveys among employer representatives and students who participated in the internship programs within two European projects realized in University of Bielsko-Biala over 2010–2015. The research confirmed that a lack of experience reduces the chances of graduates to obtain suitable employment. Moreover, research findings proved that the internship program, developed and implemented in close cooperation with local companies, may increase employment opportunities after graduation. There is, therefore, a clear need for further cooperation between education and business in order to facilitate the transition of graduates from education to employment, as well as to satisfy labor market needs.

Niedopasowanie kwalifikacji i umiejętności osób poszukujących pracy do wymagań i oczekiwań pracodawców jest jednym z głównych problemów rynku pracy. W dużej mierze dotyczy on ludzi młodych oraz wykształconych, którym mimo posiadania akademickiej wiedzy brakuje doświadczenia zawodowego. Głównym celem artykułu jest przedstawienie wpływu programów stażowych na zwiększanie szans zatrudnienia absolwentów Akademii Techniczno-Humanistycznej w Bielsku-Białej. Artykuł składa się z trzech części. W pierwszej scharakteryzowano dynamikę zmian bezrobocia pod względem wykształcenia na bielskim rynku pracy w latach 2000–2015. W części drugiej przedstawiono szanse i zagrożenia związane z wejściem absolwentów na rynek pracy po zakończeniu studiów, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem korzyści wynikających ze staży. W ostatniej części omówiono rolę współpracy między uczelnią a lokalnymi pracodawcami na rzecz lepszego dopasowania kształcenia do potrzeb rynku. Artykuł powstał na podstawie danych statystycznych o bezrobociu w regionie oraz wyników badań ankietowych przeprowadzonych wśród reprezentantów lokalnych pracodawców i studentów uczestniczących w programach stażowych w ramach projektów europejskich realizowanych przez ATH w Bielsku-Białej w latach 2010–2015. Przeprowadzone badania potwierdziły, że brak doświadczenia jest czynnikiem, który obniża konkurencyjność absolwentów na rynku pracy. Ponadto pozwoliły stwierdzić, iż program stażowy, właściwie przygotowany i przeprowadzony we współpracy między uczelnią a pracodawcami, może znacząco przyczynić się do zwiększenia szans zatrudnienia absolwentów. Istnieje zatem potrzeba intensyfikowania działań podejmowanych przez uczelnie we współpracy z otoczeniem gospodarczym, które ułatwiałyby młodym ludziom przejście z etapu edukacji do zatrudnienia, a także lepiej zaspakajały potrzeby kadrowe przedsiębiorstw.

The aim of this article is to explain the role of educational and training programmes that represent both the key labour market policy tool increasing labour force employability and the lifelong learning policy tool contributing to the lifelong learning concept. On the basis of the exploration of wide range of related literature, statistics and research studies we describe existing types and goals of educational and training programmes which are used as key measures of public policy in different countries. At the same time we reflect the role of these programmes in current changing economic and social conditions and their link to the principles of flexicurity policy.

Following my research interests, I would like to reflect on professional work and focus on its new realities and challenges that the various participants of the labour market will face. As the new shape and system of forces creating the changing labour market become a challenge not only for employers, business owners, but also for employees, contractors and finally for counsellors and educators, the initial part of the study will include a short analysis of the current situation on the labour market modified by the pandemic. Next, the author will present the consequences of these changes which will be analysed from the perspective of the employer and the employee. At this point, it is worth noting that a large part of the sources on the basis of which this study was created are the internet sources, current reports, and messages which during the pandemic seem to be the most up-to-date source material.

The issues of employability among individuals belonging to the NEET group (Not in Education, Employment, or Training) are significant from both an academic and practical point of view. The academic perspective is directed at recognizing and understanding factors that determine the lack of attempts and/or ineffective attempts at finding and keeping employment by young persons aged 18–29. The practical perspective is related to activation practices and educational solutions that might be effective in the case of this group of individuals. The paper focuses on the academic approach to this issue. The main aspects of employability of NEET group members were identified on the basis of studies conducted within the Support for the Young on the Mazovian Labor Market Project, designed as commissioned by the Voivodeship Labor Office in Warsaw. The analyses suggest that the lack of employment of on the part of the investigated population may be the result of the low level of their employability.

Problematyka zatrudnialności wśród osób z grupy NEET (Not in Education, Employment or Training) jest istotna zarówno z naukowego, jak i praktycznego punktu widzenia. Perspektywa badawcza nakierowana jest na poznanie i zrozumienie czynników decydujących o braku i/lub nieskuteczności prób znalezienia zatrudnienia i utrzymania go przez osoby młode w wieku 18–29 lat. Perspektywa praktyczna związana jest z działaniami aktywizującymi i edukacyjnymi, które mogą okazać się skuteczne wobec tej grupy osób. W niniejszym artykule skoncentrowano się na naukowym punkcie widzenia tego zagadnienia. Na podstawie badań przeprowadzonych w ramach projektu pt. „Wsparcie młodych osób na mazowieckim rynku pracy”, przygotowanych na zlecenie Wojewódzkiego Urzędu Pracy w Warszawie, ukazano główne elementy zatrudnialności osób z grupy NEET. Dokonane analizy wskazują, że brak zatrudnienia badanej populacji może być konsekwencją niskiego poziomu ich zatrudnialności.
