    Pangrčič, Polonca ; Kukanja-Gabrijelčič, Mojca
    This study investigates employer satisfaction with the qualifications and competencies of graduates in education-related disciplines, encompassing fields focused on teaching, learning, and human ... development. Drawing on data from 464 employers across diverse sectors, the study compares satisfaction levels between public sector (education) and private sector employers. The analysis reveals that private sector employers report significantly higher satisfaction with graduates' qualifications than their public sector counterparts. ICT literacy was the highest-rated competency across sectors, while leadership and social engagement ranked the lowest, likely due to limited academic opportunities and emphasis. Employers view these skills as requiring experience and long-term development. Public sector employers rated critical thinking and self-initiative slightly higher than private sector counterparts. Many employers emphasized the need for further training, particularly in leadership, problem-solving, and communication. Aligning curricula with labor market demands is essential to equip graduates with both technical and soft skills. The study recommends enhancing curriculum design and industry partnerships to improve employability and long-term career success.
