This paper is a case study on the influence of students working during their studies and its impacts on their employability after graduation. Data for this research were collected at a private business university in Prague, the Czech Republic. The aim of the paper is to identify approaches of business university graduates to employment during their study and to evaluate the role of students' employment in their future career. A partial aim is to evaluate relations between student employment and future job position. The data were obtained through primary research: a questionnaire survey, two in-depth interviews and four focus groups. The results show that practical training during studies does affect applicability of study results, but graduates are not promoted immediately after their university graduation regardless of their gender. The only disadvantages mentioned re- garded demands on time. In the qualitative research, graduates most often reported de-mands on family support, time, problem coping and necessity of such behaviour.
