How do artists and workers in the field of cultural and creative industries (hereinafter KKP) live and work in the Czech Republic? How do they cope with the changing environment of the labor market, which places high demands on them in terms of ensuring their living needs and social security, but also the needs related to their own artistic application and the development of their professional and personal competencies? And can an art college lend a helping hand in practice? Qualitative and quantitative research was conducted on a sample of graduates of the JAMU Faculty of Theater, which mapped the areas in which artists and employees of the KKP sector feel the need for further education. Among other things, the research aims to design a form of building a mutual relationship between an art college and its graduates. Although there are entities in the Czech Republic that provide counseling, courses and other forms of further education tailored to the employees of the CCP, they are not sufficient both in terms of capacity and availability and in terms of content complexity. The research draws on literature from the field of andragogy, philosophy, but also from the direct involvement of professionals from artistic practice in the dialogue with the European Commission on working conditions in the CCP "Voices of Culture".
