Enhancing labour market relevance and outcomes of higher education: Country note Slovenia
This country note presents the results of an analysis of Slovenia undertaken within
the Labour Market Relevance and Outcomes of Higher Education Partnership Initiative
project. The project was implemented by the OECD with the support of the European
Commission with the aim of helping policy makers and higher education institutions
enhance the employment outcomes of graduates by better aligning higher education provision
with labour markets skill demands. A high number of students in Slovenia combine study
and work, and so-called student work represents about 3% of the total national labour
market. Although student work is well organised and may facilitate students’ labour
market entry upon graduation, it is usually not integrated into study programmes and
can therefore increase study times or lead to attrition. The country note reviews
the system context, highlights challenges faced by higher education institutions and,
lessons learned from current practice, and presents policy options.
