Universities have been requested to assure production of "employable" graduates in connection with significant changes at the labor market and in the academic sector. Employability also tends to be one of the criteria for allocation of financial resources in the academic sector. The aim of the paper is analysis of the labour market and finding of causes of failure in employment and graduate employability of the Faculty of Forestry and Wood Technology Mendel University in Brno (Czech Republic) in practice. Results will serve to management as a strategic tool for decision-making in the areas of innovation and optimization of educational programs. To determine the theoretical background a secondary research based on review of domestic and foreign studies was used. In order to acquire primary data, in the practical part there was a questionnaire survey applied and realization of personal interviews with employers and another interested subjects. There was low graduate employability found by the questionnaire survey, especially in wood processing study programs.

A majority of potential employers of graduates of the Faculty of Forestry and Wood Technology Mendel University in Brno is willing to offer work internships and short-term practice.
