Adaptability of apprentices for the labour market
Jirát, Daniel ; Průšová, Petra (advisor) ; Trunda, Jiří (referee)
The thesis deals with the situation of secondary vocational schools within the Czech school system itself, as well as with the situation of their graduates in the labour market. In the first part some important theories which deal with the function of the school system are introduced. The introduced theories are mostly very critical towards schools. In another section, the educational system of the Czech Republic itself is described with a particular attention to its role in the reproduction of inequalities in school attainment. Next part is then focused on the analysis of problems of the secondary vocational school graduates in the labour market. From this analysis results that the young graduates of vocational programmes are experiencing serious difficulties in the labour market and their specialisation has only a small added value. These finding are then interpreted in the context of the educational system as a whole.

Why Apprenticeship? The Choice of Secondary Vocational Schools among First Year Apprentices and their Attitudes towards the School and Education
Jirát, Daniel ; Vinopal, Jiří (advisor) ; Podaná, Zuzana (referee)
(in English) This thesis deals with the choice of the Czech secondary vocational schools. Through a description of important theoretical approaches connected to the education and a study of the Czech educational system, the paper is getting to the analysis based on qualitative interviews analysed in compliance with the grounded theory approach. Through these interviews the process of choosing the secondary school and the relationship to the chosen school is described. In this part also the data from OECD PISA 2012 are used to provide an additional context. It is argued that the choice done by the apprentices is significantly limited and that the main source of such limits is social. These conclusions are connected with overall context of the Czech highly differentiated educational system. Keywords (in English) education, qualitative research, apprenticeship training, vocational education, choice of a secondary school, relationship to the school
