Development of student competencies and labour market expectations in the context of a border region: A case study of the West Pomeranian Voivodeship

This study aims to analyse the alignment of students' competencies with modern labour market requirements, considering the spatial dimension of interactions between entities and evaluating the impact of educational offers from universities on these relationships. Using surveys and secondary data, the study assessed students' self-evaluation of soft and language skills and analysed employers' requirements in border regions. The findings indicate strong English proficiency but weak German skills despite the proximity to Germany. Students expect practical education to enhance their employability. Additionally, the need to balance theoretical knowledge with the development of soft skills was emphasized.
