One of the main tasks of university is to provide an education which supported the expert, as well as the key competencies of graduates. The gained expert competencies are preconditions for the implementation of selected ocupations. On the other hand, there is not always a direct correlation between success of graduates in school and their professional life. Moreover, the employers in the construction sector claim that the key competencies – skills and attitudes of person and its readiness for the life quality are very important. The key competencies enable person to continuously update its knowledge and skills needed in practice. The definition and selection of key competencies of university graduates are always influenced by valuable and crucial needs of society. Therefore, we cannot define the key competencies in generally for the university graduates. This paper is focused on the definition of key competencies for graduates of study programme “Technology and Management in Construction” at Civil Engineering Faculties in Slovakia through the processing of various sources – the competence profile of graduates which was defined by teachers of this study programme and by the structured interviews with employers.
