Summary/Abstract: This publication aims to study the interrelation between higher education and the labor market by analyzing how the higher education policy reflects the challenges of the labor market. On the other hand, we look at how the university beneficiaries, i.e. graduates evaluate the knowledge/competences they acquired at universities, as well as the quality of education, in general. The publication studies the topic of employability alongside the Bologna Process reforms based on the self-assessment of the transferable skills by the 2008-2020 university graduates. We used a mixed methodology for the research, i.e. a combination of qualitative and quantitative research methods. The findings enable the interested audience to prepare evidence-based policy documents for enhancing the relations between higher education and the labor market and conduct comparative studies on the subject. This publication is a logical continuation of higher education research conducted by the Center for Social Sciences since 2012. All three authors hold an equal copyright to it and their surnames are listed in an alphabetical order.
