Abstract

The subject matter of the present paper pertains to human capital of university graduates in the context of universities’ social responsibility. The paper makes a premise that the responsibility revolves around proper preparation of graduates for undertaking prospective professional and social roles. The objective of the paper is to present selected aspects of human capital of university graduates emerging from actions undertaken by a socially responsible university. The paper makes a reference to survey studies aimed at evaluating knowledge, skills, social attitudes, and employment conditions of graduates of selected universities in Lublin. Results of analyses indicate that modern universities ought to embrace a greater responsibility for parties participating in higher education process, including care for their qualifications, professional competences, and those encompassing substantive scope and personality. By doing so, they will contribute to challenges in the context of social responsibility being coped with, which, in turn, will foster the development of human capital.
