Summary/Abstract: In contemporary Georgia, the relationships between the higher educational institutions and labour market are problematic: the demand for higher education is very high, but the demand for graduates is irrelevantly low - the most part of the graduates do not work according to their qualification; employers are complaining about lack of professionals; the general attitudes of education market’s actors (school leavers, students, their parents, staff working for higher educational institutions etc.) towards high educational institutions are positive and those of labour market (job seekers, employed, employers and others) are negative.The study is intended to uncover the following research questions: Why the general attitudes towards higher educational institutions from school leavers and students’ side are positive but from former students’ side (when they become job seekers) are negative? How to describe relationships between the higher education market and the labour market in Georgia?
