“…Subject literature frequently describes the knowledge workers in terms of the traits they should demonstrate. Taking into account the specifics of the knowledge worker and the specifics of creative actions, creative knowledge workers should be characterised mainly with openness, independence and persistence (Sokół and Figurska, 2017). Openness to new experiences and ideas allows people to perceive the surrounding in an unrestricted and non-schematic manner.…”

“…Educational policies and lifelong learning are very crucial concepts both for the young and old actors engaged in this process: in fact, both categories might be influenced by it and both can profit from acquiring new skills and knowledge that might prove to be crucial for securing and maintaining their position on the turbulent labor market (Arokiasamy, 2017;Čábelková et al, 2015;Figurska, 2017;Giedraitis et al, 2017;Gulicheva & Osipova, 2017;Koudelková & Svobodová, 2014;Oganisjana et al, 2017;Nguyen et al 2017;Michailova et al, 2017;Luhn et al, 2017;Šafránková & Šikýř, 2016;Strakova, 2015;Sokół, Ignatjeva et al;Voogt et al, 2013;).

Abstract. This paper is focused on the issue how educational systems might increase the economic, innovative and business potential of the regional centres and contribute to the sustainable economic development. Rapidly growing economies are marked by social fragmentation and economic divisions but have the potential to become the drivers for shrinking social divisions and creating opportunities for all the citizens. Carefully designed educational policies becomes a solution for most of the economic and social problems by offering formal and non-formal educational activities. Policy-makers in the educational realm learn to engage with the realities of social exclusion, political alienation, and economic marginalization -through both public policy and private initiatives. Educational initiatives and policies across might include carefully orchestrated public policies, spending the money from the structural funds all aimed at stabilizing communities and establishing cooperation and integration, non-formal educational initiatives to reduce marginalization, or expansion of the formal school system aimed at raising aspirations.

Background and Purpose:We are living in a time of accelerated globalization, which has a far-reaching impact for youth employment. Therefore, the paper presents the problem of the transition of tertiary educated young people into the working environment in terms of the importance of education and gaining work experience during their studies. The main purpose of the study was to analyze the attitudes and thinking of students regarding the selection of studies and work experience that young people are gaining during their studies with student work in connection with their job prospects. Design/Methodology/Approach: The data used in our research come from a broader research on Slovenian Youths (SY) dating back to 2013. Among all the respondents of SY we selected those who classified themselves as students aged between 19 and 24, who filled out the part of the questionnaire pertaining to employment. The research hypotheses were tested with the analysis of variance (ANOVA) and independent samples t-test. Results: We found that among students who chose to study for different reasons there were differences in the belief that they will immediately find employment after graduating. We also found that between those students who supported themselves during their studies and those who only studied there were differences in individual statements regarding their transition from education to employment. We concluded that work during their studies, especially in the field of the profession they were studying for, had a positive impact on the thinking of students pertaining to the transition toward employment. Conclusion: The analysis of employment issues faced by young people with tertiary education was supported by empirical data, while in conclusion suggestions for improvement were presented. The article also deepens the understanding of the problems of youth employment in a broader perspective and the understanding of the observed developments in society.
