School Graduates in the current Labor Market in the Region České Budějovice

In the bachelor thesis, I focus on the topic of possibilities for graduates to find a job in the present-day labour market in South Bohemian region. This issue has recently been very current topic, because the graduates belong to the most threaten categories on the labour market. In terms of unemployment South Bohemian region deals with the situation well. It can be supported by the fact that the average annual share of unemployed inhabitants in South Bohemian region was lower than the average of the Czech Republic and South Bohemia's average as well. The theoretical part is concerned with the terms that are related to the unemployment - the causes of unemployment, the division of unemployment, its consequences and the present situation of unemployment are pointed out. South Bohemian region is characterized and I concentrate on the active and passive employment policy. Further, I mention the specific programmes that focus on the graduates. Thanks to these programmes the graduates are employed, and as a result of that the situation has improved. The aim of the work is to analyse the unemployment of the graduates in South Bohemian region and to find out a solution to this problem. According to the research, the unemployment of graduates in this region, compared to the others, is not considered as alarming. Within the most threaten category in the labour market, the graduates belong to the least threaten ones. My research was based on a questionnaire, an analysis of secondary data and semi-structured interviews, which illustrate the topic from the point of view of the experts. The practical part points out the comparison of the opinions of graduates and other unemployed people. According to the questionnaires, the graduates are less sceptical in terms of looking for a job than the others. The graduates are sometimes persuaded that they do not belong to this category. It is connected with the fact that while other unemployed people have previous experience with the labour market, the graduates, whose difficulties come from the difference between their education and the requirements of the employers, do not realize their actual possibilities. Typically, they show lack of interest in manual work and handcraft. Moreover this group is characteristic of unreal demands on the starting salary, eventually, they expect an immediate promotion. All in all, the graduates represent rather optimistic group of the unemployed, besides they think that in case of unemployment the state will take care of them
