Abstract: In western countries more and more percentage of the population enters into tertiary education On both national and individual level positive consequences of this tendency are numerous -; such as increased level of qualification(s) and higher level of foreign language proficiency. However, employers are still not satisfied. There is a considerable mismatch between the skills and competencies offered and those demanded. Present paper endeavours to find the origin(s) of this gap and proposes ways to fill them up.
