In this paper we focus on the possibility of early identification of talent. We assume that one of the reasons for the increase in self-employment, retraining, delayed completion of studies and education of young job seekers may lie in them returning to fields where they have always been successful, to their primary aspirations, hobbies and so-called early talents. Does the school system operate in accordance with its objective, namely to prepare young adults for the future? The question of how to begin the process of discovering single talent and where possibilities to develop early career paths lie, remains open. Namely, we assume that early talent identification is an important social factor and this aspect should be taken into account by the (primary) school system. We reflect on potential solutions to finding options for creating a (primary) school system in light of the early development of "soft skills" that are becoming increasingly relevant in the process of youth employment.

COBISS.SI-ID: 31418461First part of the paper documents an increasing trend of uncertain graduates´ employment prospects, especially those from so-called soft HE programs. Data from two very different research projects are used (large scale international project HEGESCO and a small case study of Slovene students) for the analysis of HE educator and students investment into “matching the proper job.” The results show that the investments are relatively inadequate. The second part focuses on career centers as for some countries, including Slovenia, a new form of training students to enter the labor market.
