The opinions present academic staff as a benchmark for successful and experienced citizens who, together with employers, guide students to academic disciplines in demand in the labor market. The diploma has a material nature, given its aim for the practical implementation of students in the labor market, and at the same time – imaginary features, given the duration of training, the dynamics of the labor market and the measures imposed by the emergency situation.
