In order to identify the degree of satisfaction of the employers regarding the professional training and practice of the masters graduates in administrative sciences, the main deficiencies manifested by the employees, which should be corrected in the academic environment and the degree of adaptation of the educational requirements from the postgraduate environment to the real needs of the labor market, we applied a questionnaire on a number of 245 persons working in public institutions in Constanta county. We assume that the degree of satisfaction of the employers regarding the professional and academic training of the graduates is a satisfactory one, and the difficult principles of the employees being: communication skills and the insufficient specialized practice.
