Future economic professionals: development of practical skills and competencies in higher education from the point of view of international employers

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The authors aim to determine the importance of practical preparation of future accountants, auditors and entrepreneurs during the study both from the point of view of the companies with transnational scope of activity that belong to the group of the Czech Republic’s most attractive employers and from the point of view of the students of the University of Economics in Prague (Czech Republic) in the field of accounting and financial management, who very often gain positions in such companies. Another aim is to verify what emphasis the practice in the international context places on providing the students with knowledge of business and market laws in relation to the abovementioned professions. The research was conducted by using a questionnaire survey at the beginning of 2018. The chi-square test of independence was used in view of the categorical variables. Practical preparation is important for both groups of respondents (i.e. 139 students and 24 relevant companies-employers). During the study, it was established that most students are already employed (75% of the bachelor and 95% of the master programmes students), which shows that the students in the accounting and corporate financial management field of study have a very close contact with practice. Although most students at both levels of education are already employed (88%), only 52% of them work in the field which is identical to their educational programme. Satisfaction of companies with students is conditioned by their practical preparation during the studies, which, however, is most often non-existing. The companies’ representatives, as well as students, recommend that practical subjects be incorporated in the course of study. Also, emphasis should be placed on the development of professional competences of auditors and accountants, as well as on entrepreneurships’ training, which should be in the form of simulated professional environment during the classes. Taking into consideration the results of the new research and scientific studies, we consider the recommended procedures to be justified and relevant internationally.
