In our essey we are dealing with this phenomenon through the results of an concrete research. The investigation completed through the cooperation between the Széchenyi István University and the Educatio Kht. is based on depth interwievs conducted by employers. The study in question analyses the role of the institutional factors and the role of the regionality concerning the features of employment of the entrants. As a result of the investigation – as expected from employer's research – we are given a full picture concerning the employer's – functioning in the university area – requirements and experiences related to the entrants, conceming the requirements of the institutional cooperation, moreover conceming the importance of the regional aspects. The aim of the pilot research is to build up a research program model that specifies and illustrates those steps and methodological considerations that are aimed to give a hand for the higher education institutions to make career examinations in the employer environment relevant to them. Ön the other hand the intention of the research is to make more theoretical conclusions concerning the relationship of the labour market and the regionality.
