Does The Labour Market Require Graduates With Environmental Knowledge?

Original language description

The presented paper deals with the position of graduates, namely the university students, with environmental knowledge on the labour market.The aim of this paper is to describe the position of graduates with environmental knowledge working in a selected enterprise, whose activities are part of the so-called green economy. The subject of the research represents a manufacturing enterprise in the South Bohemian region with approximately 400 employees in the Czech Republic. The survey methods are based on a qualitative approach. In late 2021 and early 2022, a series of semi-structured interviews were conducted with managers of the enterprise. The outputs are coded using Grounded Theory by Strauss and Glaser. Conclusions are drawn to describe the issue of graduates with environmental knowledge in the context of the green economy.The results confirmed the relevance of graduates with environmental knowledge in the labour market in the context of the green economy. As such, environmental knowledge should always be combined with economic or technical knowledge. According to the managers, there is an unbalanced situation in the labour market concerning graduates with environmental knowledge, where there is more labour supply than demand. For the future development of environmental education, but also education in general, more emphasis should be placed on university–enterprises cooperation in terms of preparing future employees.
