Affecting factors of the situation of school-leavers on the labour market
Situation of vocational education
• Infavourable changes in the field of vocational education starting from the 90’-ies- decrease of LM demand towards workforce without graduation- delayed react of education strategies to the changes in the needs and demands of
the LM- high drop-out rate in vocational schools, few years later enhancing the
unemployed people number- lack of technical conditions for practical training in the schools- vocational schools often unable to prepare their students for the increasingly
complex professional skills - very uncertain perspectives for the school-leavers entering the job market- no adequate career guidance integrated into the curriculum, the young are not
prepared for access to employment and are not familiar with job search methods• In the last few years perceptible positive tendencies
- significant changes in the whole system of vocational training- changes in VET legislation, starting from 1 January 2012, with the key objective of
developing the VET system in accordance with the needs of LM labor market in order to enhance the employability
Youth/school-leavers/- have no work experience, haven’t got developed working methodology, nor
the skills required - haven’t got established discipline of work- still seeking their own way, do not know what they really want to work- irreal expectations about salary, impatience with the progress of their career- unwillingness of working mobility - have updated knowledge, but often not at required quality and standards- good physical bearing capacity
Different aspects of the employment of school-leavers /youth/
Employers- prefer to employ experienced workers , with reliable professonal skills- young people without any experience are always a threat for the employer,
because their efficiency is less predictable then those, who have filled more jobs- less stable work force, change jobs more frequently- still affecting impacts of the economic crisis: decreasing number of job vacancy,- each company tries to work with a minimum /effectively working/ staff- young people can be formed according to the company's needs, ensuring the
workforce supply, have lower wages and less paid holidays.
