Energy experts are employable in different fields: research and academic institutions, government organizations, bodies of local self-goverment and, of course, in the private sector.

Within the framework of the professionally oriented higher education programme Energy Technology, the fundamental goal is to educate the students for carrying out professional tasks, particularly in the economic and non-economic sectors, and within the public administration (agencies, relevant ministries). The graduates of the professionally oriented higher education programme are trained and educated for operational interventions and work for economic entities and other organisations, thus being not only capable of operative performance of their tasks but also carrying out the necessary preparation and organisation of the work. Their work is primarily oriented towards solving maintenance and supply issues in organisations which might be their potential employers. The fundamental goals of the professional part of the study are particularly oriented towards obtaining knowledge of operating activities in technology of supply of organisations (primarily with energy), and gaining knowledge of operations and organisation of actual work and technological operations. After completing professionally oriented higher education programme, the graduates possess such a scope and level of theoretical and practical knowledge that, following graduation, they are competent experts in their own field. The goals of the study in terms of its content are oriented towards: 1. understanding of operations of an organisation, 2. understanding of management of an organisation, 3. organisation and operative performance of technological operations in an energy system, 4. organisation and operative performance of technological processes in an organisation, 5. use of information management systems in operative interventions in an energy system, 6. use of contemporary technologies in energy systems, 7. training for further studies (Master's degree), 8. development of competences of identification, analysis and solution of problems in energy systems, 9. close ties with the practical aspect of the profession, capability of solving actual and operative tasks, 10. application of methods learned during theoretical work to practical cases.
