Abstract
Purpose: The proposed study is a new approach toward the perspective of university education in the conditions of globalization changes oriented on improving the competitiveness of the future professionals on the basics of formed competencies which are also constantly variable. Material: The paper is based on the analysis of the source materials and own investigations in the sphere of academic education in terms of the expectations of Polish and Ukrainian students in the context of the preparation to the labour market functioning. The motivation for the study was the demonstration of the actual problems faced by university graduates in the two countries and the search for ways to resolve them in the realities of a dynamically changing labour market.The approach according to which modern employers attach less importance to the resource of academic knowledge, focusing on the practical competencies that allow adapting to change quickly, is illustrated in the paper. Results: The results of the study which involved 310 Polish and 263 Ukrainian students of the pedagogical departments demonstrated that the most important thing in the professional training process is the development of social competencies and the ability to make a self - presentation. The vast majority also recognized that they possess valuable competencies in the labour market. Polish students noticed the largest deficit only in their office and mathematical competencies (at the same time, they considered them important in the labour market). Conclusions: The important result of the study is the confirmation by the students of the importance of practical experience as one of the most important activities in the process of higher education implementation as well.
