Abstract
The paper deals with the partial research of students’ attitudes towards the education system in relation to the changing conditions on the European labor market and in relation to research conducted in the MSR titled “Key competences for the labor market” and the need for lifelong learning. De-velopment of key competences is thus demonstrated in the paper as a task of management, whose development should be implemented throughout the professional life of individuals and companies, since – as shown by the re-sults of the partial research – the education system does not prepare students adequately according to labor market conditions. The introduction outlines the importance of key competences for both personal and professional life of individuals, and also of the entire enterprise. They are also links indi-cated between the labor market and the education system. The next section presents a selection of relevant literature on the issue and explains the basic terminology of knowledge society, lifelong learning, and key competences.On the example of the research on key competences “Key competences for the labor market,” the need to develop competences throughout the work-ing life of the individual is emphasized as the primary task of the company management. In the following section own research is introduced, whose subcomponent focuses on the research of attitudes towards the prepared-ness of the education system to face changing conditions in society and the related changes in the labor market. Based on the professional literature a hypothesis is formulated and the results of this partial research are sum-marized. Based on the results of the research possible solutions are recom-mended.
