Abstract: The high school economic education in Romania has the main purpose to cover the scientific knowledge but also to develop the practical skills of young students. The requirement of applied economics courses in colleges has elevated because of the deficiency of practical abilities of graduates and consequently, because of the difficulty of their integration on the labour market. The Romanian school of economics is focused on diverse economic qualifications and comprises applied classes developed in partnership with local companies. Our research paper objectives are related to expose the students’ awareness about the importance of the applied trainings developed by partners firms and about their perception of the effect of the economic high school education upon their career. This pilot research may be a typical periodic survey for every single high school with economic profile and furthermore, could be a support for an analysis of the technological educational system in correlation with market changing requirements. The results of this survey demonstrate the reality of the actual education system in the economical field related to the high school level and could be extended to other surveys in different sphere of education.
