Affecting factors of the situation of school-leavers on the labour market

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,

many companies have gone bankrupt and disappears from LM

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

holiday

Youth/school-leavers/

have no work experience, need to be taught by an experienced

colleague

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

have 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

Situation of vocational education

infavourable changes in the field of vocational education decrease of LM demand towards workforce without graduation delayed react of education strategies to the changes in the needs and

demands of the labor market the vocational school became a kind of „rescue net” for

disadvantaged students with learning and integration difficulties the students do not find their place in the training process high drop-out rate in vocational schools, few years later enhancing the

unemployed people number very uncertain perspectives for the school-leavers entering the job

market lack of technical conditions for practical training in the schools vocational schools often are unable to prepare their students for the

increasingly complex professional skills there is 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 either
