Employer Competencies Requirements for University-Educated Students: Surveys from 2020 to 2022

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Research background: In modern human resource management, there is a growing emphasis on competencies that encompass recruitment, education, and career development. The traditional focus on knowledge, skills, and experience has evolved into a comprehensive approach that evaluates applicants based on their competencies, including the abilities and skills required for specific tasks. The Career Centre at VSB Technical University of Ostrava conducts annual surveys to explore the expectations and possibilities within the university-graduates-employer relationship.Purpose of the article: This article aims to analyse surveys conducted between 2020 and 2022 to identify emerging trends in employer requirements for graduates.Methods: The surveys targeted significant employers in the Moravian-Silesian region that employ university-educated professionals. Data collection involved focus groups and semi-structured interviews with HR representatives. The findings were then evaluated by a psychologist.Findings &amp; Value added: The surveys revealed that employers increasingly prioritise adaptability, rapid onboarding, proactivity in learning, and teamwork. While soft skills are particularly valued in nontechnical fields, graduates in technical disciplines also require them alongside their technical knowledge. Given the rapid advances in science and technology, the ability and willingness to learn new things are deemed crucial competencies. The findings provide a valuable foundation for graduates to focus on developing the competencies desired by employers, enabling their personal growth and employability. Additionally, the results serve as feedback to the university, prompting adjustments in study programmes and additional education to align with the evolving employers&apos; expectations.
