6.2 Inquiry of employers on employment of graduates next six years
Implementing the Programme, the Department of Sociology and Psychology of RSU Communication faculty, has collected information from potential employers to find out and understand conformity of the students of the Programme to needs of contemporary labour market.
In relation to evaluation of the Bachelor’s study programme by employers, inquiry of employers has not been organized yet, since the students have not had praxis yet, and there are no graduates of the programme. Nevertheless, the Department has carried out inquiry of potential employers to find out and understand conformity of the students to needs of the clinical environment. Aim of communication with potential employers is to establish and maintain a link between RSU and potential employers.
As employers’ references revealed, there is a demand for psychologists - professionals with knowledge of medicine, who are able to join the multi-disciplinary team of clinical environment, where there co-operate doctors, paramedics, pedagogues, psychologists, etc. It is important that students acquire such basic psychological education that they, without any difficulties, can be able to continue studies for Master’s degree in art therapy.
Co-operation with employers in coming six years will be projected to preparation of students for further professional activities, according to needs of employers, for establishing contacts and network of co-operation partners, as well as for involvement of professional organisations in consulting on study process with the aim to improve mutual link, thus connecting the academic line of study process with the current situation in the labour market.
