EN Purpose: The main aim of the article was to present good practices in the field of cooperation between vocational schools and enterprises. Design/methodology/approach: The study employed a survey method. The survey was anonymised and it was addressed to two types of respondents: school principals and industry representatives (employers). The first group of respondents was selected based on the school type – only vocational school principals were eligible to take part in the study – while the latter group of respondents was selected at random. Findings: All reforms of vocational education must, first and foremost, be aligned with actual labour market needs. The data obtained can provide a reference point for streamlining cooperation between vocational schools and industry representatives, improving the organisation of practical classes in the form of dual education and patronage classes, and fostering other forms of cooperation with businesses. Research limitations/implications: The main research limitation is that the issue is a new topic that has not yet been widely discussed in the literature. Another threat is the reluctance of entrepreneurs to cooperate with schools (fear of the need to carry out new tasks). On the other hand, however, these behaviours are slowly changing, which is caused by the lack of staff on the labour market, which in turn motivates entrepreneurs to look for employees already at the school stage. Practical implications: The presented proposal of the concept of cooperation between entrepreneurs and vocational schools is a valuable initiative for the immediate implementation of business activity in practice, which in the near future will become a necessary action due to the lack of employees on the market. Originality/value: The topic addressed is new and original, rarely discussed in the literature so far. The article presents the results of original research on the cooperation of vocational schools with enterprises and includes proposals for the practical application of the indicated solutions.
