Summary/Abstract: The employment and unemployment rates are less favourable for young people who make a transition from the education system to the labour market than for non-young people. It is the lack of experience, general skills and specialised knowledge which makes them less attractive as employees. The aim of the study is to diagnose and assess the situation of young people on the labour market in the Podkarpackie Voivodeship (Poland). The literature review and analysis of the statistical data were used to achieve the goal. Own empirical research was also carried out, complementing the basic considerations. The results of the conducted research definitely indicate a worse situation of young people on the labour market in the Podkarpackie Voivodeship compared to the situation not only of other groups, but also compared to other voivodeships. At the same time, the surveyed young people do not satisfyingly assess their entrepreneurial skills and motivation of needs, taking into account the requirements of the regional labour market. Among the recommended solutions contributing to the improvement of the situation of the characterised group, one should mention training, including the content reported by employers, monitoring the fate of graduates in order to adapt the education program to the needs of the labour market, as well as support provided to young employees by their superiors.
