University Career Centers within Educational and Employment Strategies

Summary/Abstract: Youth unemployment in Serbia has structural and long-term characteristics. This is related to disbalance between competencies of young people and needs of employers. As a result of the economic crisis, the relative position of young people with a university degree in this respect has deteriorated further. University career centers are regarded as intermediaries in the labor market. In addition to informational and advisory services, educational function of career centers is an essential element of their scope of work. The question is whether and to what extent the educational role of the university career centers is recognized in national education and employment policies. The analysis results vary. There is a potential for further growth and recognition of the role of university career centers as providers of educational services, as well as important elements of labor market harmonization. That would finally lead to improvement of social and economic position of young people with a university degree.
