Abstract

The article is based on the results of the European Structural Funds project ITMS 26110230055 Rationalisation and improvement of the industrial management study programme to support career guidance. The aim of the project was, based on the results of the Slovak industrial enterprises requirements on the industrial manager’s competencies, prepare the new profile of the graduates of the study programme Industrial Management. Significant changes of the industry and labour market have influenced also the qualification demand. In Slovak Republic a considerable proportion of the new jobs created in automotive industry sector are predominantly high skilled jobs where almost a third of these jobs are managerial positions. This has created a pressure on the universities to reconsider the content of the technical study programmes based on the newly defined competencies profiles.
