a permanent job contract . 85% of them
worked during study. Similar results are

differences betweeen people who work
on the basis of different contracts.

repondents who did not work during

at present also do not work (39.3%) and
also those who marked their status as

COMPETENCES
Thanks to additional analysis of the answers of WUT
graduates to questions on competences, the ranking
has been prepared on the abilities needed on the
market and those of the graduates. As it turns out, the
repondents - in relation to the market demands –
perceive in themselves their ability to use a foreign
language and their ability to cope with stress as the
weakest. They also see the neeed of improvement of
the ability to plan and manage projects, ability to
manage their time, ability to use specialist tools of
self-presentation and public presentation and
independence in professional life. Specialist
knowledge connected with their field of study and
ability to manage teams are competences that need
improvement to the smallest degree.
