Employers require specialists characterised not only by their professional knowledge, but also capable of adapting to changing circumstances, making individual decisions, creating value added. Successful integration into labour market not only depends on external factors, such as state policies, but also on internal factors as social, personal and information competence. The conducted research enabled to assess attitudes of transport management graduates towards knowledge and competencies acquired during study process, preparedness for labour market. Research participants’ attitudes enabled to distinguish the most important skills and general competencies. Research have shown that graduates most often face the shortage of practical training, financial knowledge and poor ability to develop business plans.
