Keywords:
career competencies, learning environment, student, careerAbstract
Universities and are increasingly recognizing their responsibility to guide students and graduates in their career development. The need to understand how the learning environment affects the acquisition of such general knowledge or competencies, and of subject-specific knowledge and competencies, as well as the contribution of the learning environment to the development and strengthening of career competencies for effective career management of the target group of students is a topical research problem of many studies. At the national scale, no study has yet been conducted to examine the contribution of the higher education learning environment to the development of students’ career competencies. The main purpose of the paper is to create an overview of elements of the learning environment and its contribution to the development of students’ career competencies with the help of the theoretical starting points of domestic and foreign scientific and professional literature in the field of career development, pedagogy and related fields. We identified which factors of the learning environment are most often highlighted as important for strengthening students’ career competencies.
