The future situation of the occupational group on the labour market
The chances of finding employment for this occupational group in 2009-2013 are slightly above average. However as compared to the development in the 2003-2008 period these chances will lower substantially. This will be influenced by several factors. A large proportion of employees in this occupational group currently have secondary qualifications with 'maturita' (most of them in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering and business), and after 2013 a large number of graduates with similar qualifications are expected to enter the labour market (although their numbers will decline). However, in IT services, which is the industry providing most employment opportunities for this occupational group, the trend is that secondary qualifications will no longer suffice. Even graduates of Master programmes experience problems as their knowledge is deemed as insufficient by employers. The situation is understandably worse for secondary qualification holders. Therefore enterprises often place higher education graduates in jobs that were earlier filled by secondary qualification holders, and this trend may be further intensified in the upcoming years.
