Journal Title: Studia Poradoznawcze - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue

Abstract

This article presents a certain part of research that was conducted under the European research project called EMPLOY – Enhancing the employability of non-traditional students in HE. The aim of the article is to show the issue of employability in the context of constructing career paths by Polish non-traditional students. In order to interpret the research results the author used Mark L. Savickas’ concept of career construction. Referring to biographic interviews conducted with non-traditional students, the author pointed out several ways of planning a career, which she calls the paths of “further education”, “temporariness towards a better future”, “biographic hitchhiking” and “pursuing one’s passion”.
