Purpose: The aim of this article is to show the situation of graduates of the University of Silesia in Katowice in the transition from the education system to the labour market in the period before and after the Covid-19 pandemic. Design/methodology/approach: This article presents the results of a survey (quantitative online research) that was conducted one year after graduation among graduates of the University of Silesia. The results of surveys conducted among graduates graduating in the 2016/2017 academic year (N = 845) and in the 2020/2021 academic year (N = 908) were compared. Findings: Empirical studies have shown that graduates who graduated in the pre-pandemic period were better prepared to be function in the labour market than graduates whose period of study fell during the pandemic. Pre-pandemic graduates were more likely to report that they had knowledge of where and how to look for a job and where to work after graduation, and were more likely to work. Research limitations/implications: A key limitation of the study is that not all graduates take part in this type of survey, which makes it difficult to aggregate data to the levels of individual fields of study. It should be recommended to continue the research on the professional fate of graduates of higher education institutions - however, it can be postulated that the research methodology should be extended to include qualitative research, e.g. focus group interviews with graduates. It can also be postulated to carry out research among employers who employ graduates. Social implications: Improving the methodology of researching the professional fate of graduates will have an impact on better adjustment of the fields of study to the needs of the labour market. Originality/value: The article shows how the unprecedented situation of the pandemic negatively affects the preparation of young people to get into the labour market. It shows the differences between graduates graduating before the Covid-19 pandemic and graduates who studied during the pandemic in terms of the transition from the education system to the labour market. The article is addressed to those interested in labour market issues - in particular the issue of youth transition from the education system to the labour market.
