Very often young people view their time of study as a period where they can prolong their youth and engage in fun, rather than as the time of taking important decisions regarding future career. The choice of study in our present system is not necessarily connected with future profession. However, planning for a future profession should begin during the time of study because it is the time of greater perspectives both in terms of specialised knowledge and work experiences. Study provides different forms of educational experience and access to Career Services, thanks to which students can develop their own abilities and can find areas suitable to them. Many graduates of Higher Education, regardless of their studies, have problems with utilising their knowledge in practice. The most frequent issues of graduates entering the job market are: imprecise plans for the future; ignoring final decisions about professional development; the attitude that they should be given everything. There is a need here for the assistance of the career advisor to help the young person find the right path. Graduates lack the knowledge of where and how to find a job connected to their field of education, both in a local and national perspective. The lack of basic information on the functioning of the job market and which jobs are available cause the graduates to not realise their potential. The transition between education and the world of work is difficult, but even more so for those who lack the basic information of how to cope with the change. In today’s world, education itself is not a guarantee for obtaining a job as demanding employees expect not only a diploma but also experience gained during study.
