Use of Retraining for Jobseekers to Increase Applicability in the Labour Market
VYBÍRALOVÁ, Lucie
The topic of my thesis is the retraining as one of the forms of the lifelong learning and its place in the employment policy context and the labour market in the Czech Republic. A new implement of an active employment policy has been used in the Job centres in the Czech Republic since January 2012 - so called ´chosen qualification´. Job applicants themselves chose a retraining programme which will be needed for their later employment in the labour market. It is also in their competence to choose an institution responsible for the retraining. This includes atypical courses which are not offered by the Job centres of the Czech Republic. These courses usually lead to start new business. In my research I have focused on the number of applicants who underwent this new retraining in the Jindřichův Hradec district and also on the question whether the applicants are motivated by this unusual retraining more than by the classical one offered by the Job centres. The goal of the theoretical part of my work deals with topics of the passive and active employment policy, retraining and corresponding terminology. The Job centres of the Czech Republic and their contact workplace in Jindřichův Hradec, the employment situation in this district and work with job applicants have also been described. The combination of data analysis taken from the Job centres of the Czech Republic and qualitative research were chosen to achieve the goal and verification of the hypothesis. In particular, the data based on the materials gained from the Job centres of the Czech Republic from years 2008-2012 and semi-controlled interviews to support the data analysis were used. This interviews with three respondents registered in the contact workplace of the Job centre in Jindřichův Hradec were run in March 2013. Each of the respondents chose a different type of the retraining. The main goal was to compare if the chosen retraining was more effective and motivating than the classical one arranged by the Job centre. I have also concentrated on the comparison of state funding and European social fund. Two hypotheses and one research question were stated for the research. Hypothesis number 1: The chosen retraining helps to increase employment of the job applicants. Hypothesis number 2: Resources from European funds provably help to increase the number of applicants - those who are being retrained. Research question: Does the opportunity of a retraining motivate the job applicants to change current qualification? The research outcomes confirm both hypotheses. This project could help to increase the awareness of one of the tools of the active employment policy - retraining - and also serve as study materials for other students. It can provide a feedback on the opinions of job applicants for the District subdivision of the Job centre in České Budějovice.
Usage of retraining the Bureau of Labor to increase the applicability of the labor market
SUKOVÁ, Denisa
The graduation essay deals with the use of requalification courses in employment bureaus; such courses rank among tools increasing the chances of job applicants to assert themselves in the labour market. The introductory section of the essay focuses on the theoretical definition of this issue, including related topics. The first main purpose of the research was to map out the opinions of job applicants registered with the employment bureau in Strakonice regarding the situation of re-qualified people in the labour market. Quantitative investigation, the inquiry method, the questionnaire technique was employed to test hypotheses and to collect primary data. Two hypotheses were determined for the research: Hypothesis 1: Attendants of requalification courses consider requalification less efficient than applicants who have not taken advantage of this service yet. Hypothesis 2: Job applicants find non-specific requalification more accessible than specific requalification. Research results showed that hypothesis 2 was confirmed, while hypothesis 1 was not confirmed. The second main purpose of the work was to map out opinions of consultants in labour bureaus regarding the utilization of requalification courses. The research was complemented with qualitative investigation in which the inquiry method, the semi-controlled interview technique was applied. Interviews were conducted with professionals from employment bureaus that deal with requalification. The purpose of the interviews was to find out how requalification is implemented and what those professionals think of its importance. Interviews were conducted face to face. The following conclusion was made based on the qualitative inquiry: Consultants in the employment bureau appreciate requalification not only because re-qualified people gain new knowledge and skills, but also because such courses enhance their self-esteem which is so important in the process of searching for a job.
