Abstract
We live in a world of constant changes. Progress, modern technologies, and globalization processes make the reality that surrounds us and gives us new opportunities, but at the same time we face new demands. People's wisdom depends on economic and social success, because an educated citizen, able to adapt to the ever-changing world, has a significant influence on the shape of modern civilization. Nowadays the theoretical knowledge gained in the education process becomes insufficient, and it becomes more important to use it in practice to solve problems, communication skills, cooperation, group work, or flexible working in the labor market. A man in the modern labor market must adapt to flexible responses to change and to finding new solutions, continuing learning and problem solving, perceiving causal and functional dependencies, the complexity of phenomena, the design of actions, and acceptance of responsibility for results. The chapter aims to analyze trends in the contemporary labor market and to assess the extent to which employers meet expectations and opportunities.
