Abstract

Abstract Sustainability is related to diverse relationships that exist in the world as well as to the attitudes evolving in a person’s diverse life activities, including education and work. In the sustainable employability model, there is a pedagogical idea of experience and self-identity and individual values revealing the level of personal sustainability. The present study explores vocational education students’ personal sustainability as a predictor to sustainable employability in the future. The study involved 151 vocational education students’ self-assessment of valuable (sustainable) personal characteristics, their attitude to being honest, helpful and responsible. The results have shown that the most valuable self-characteristics are being good tempered, helpful and kind. Students’ attitudes to being responsible and honest change during school years – 1st and 2nd year students do not consider them important values but senior students acknowledge them. It means that their lived experiences have promoted personal sustainability development ensuring more sustainable employability in the future.

个人可持续性与可持续就业能力:职业教育学生视角

可持续性与世界上存在的各种关系有关，也与一个人在教育和工作等各种生活活动中不断演变的态度有关。在可持续就业能力模型中，有经验、自我认同和个人价值观的教学理念，揭示了个人的可持续性水平。本研究探讨职业教育学生的个人可持续性对未来可持续就业能力的预测作用。该研究涉及151名职业教育学生对有价值(可持续)的个人特征、诚实、乐于助人和负责任的态度的自我评估。结果表明，最有价值的自我特征是好脾气、乐于助人和善良。学生对负责任和诚实的态度在学年期间发生了变化-一年级和二年级的学生不认为这是重要的价值观，但高年级的学生承认这一点。这意味着他们的生活经历促进了个人的可持续发展，确保了未来更可持续的就业能力。
