Creation of Personal Career Path: Basis for the Development of Educational Products of Further Education

Abstract

The aim of the paper is, based on theoretical starting-points and empirical research, to describe types of career paths. Diversity of educational needs is reflected in that of career paths. Calculations of the correlation of job position and completed education of the respondent, respondent’s mother and father and the correlation dependence of career path and completed respondent’s education are presented in tables. Collected information was statistically processed with manual and automated programs: acquired statistics were collected and processed in MS Excel program and GNU PSPP. Based on empirical surveys, it can be concluded that there is a significant correlation between the employment status of both parents. Jobs of both mother and father are dependent on education. It can be stated that education is not such an important factor for the job as it used to be; other factors, such as material resources of the family, prospects of developing their own business, where the respondent can act either in the employer position or in that of self-employed, are important.
