The article deals with a creation of the profile of a graduate of the Institute of Technology and Business (VŠTE) in České Budějovice. It analyses the study programmes of the Institute and their future perspectives. It compares these perspectives with the needs of praxis (i. e. with the requirements of employers towards graduates). Besides the requirements of the employers towards the graduates, the deficiencies of graduates are mentioned as well. The deficiencies are eliminated by initial training of job applicants, further education and retraining organised not only by universities but also by special organisations. The interconnection of the student’s profile and his career and earnings is mentioned, too. At the end, the recommendations are listed – they come from the comparison of the graduate’s profile and the employers’ require-ments. These recommendations should increase the chances of graduates to be more employ-able.
