“…The aim of nowadays education is to realize the link between education and the labour market, especially emphasizing the integrated learning strategy when improving the study process and diversifying the programmes (Cendon, 2018) are activated (Talbot, 2018;Okolie, Yasin, 2017). Thus, career education is integrated also in higher education and new forms for combining theory and practice are sought, paying attention to the development of career management skills that are necessary in personal life and lifelong professional development.…”

Career development at present is considered a lifelong process not a single concrete episode of choosing the career because the person has to develop creativity and critical thinking, understanding of values and culture, humanism and citizenship, decision-making and problem-solving skills, entrepreneurship and communication skills along with the knowledge, skills needed in the profession and the professional competencies. The development of career management skills becomes more significant. The aim of the study is to explore the development of career management skills in the study process as the basis of career education which is implemented as a set of integrated actions. The study employs the analysis of pedagogical, psychological and career management theories and the results of the empirical research. Empirical research data have been obtained from surveying students and graduates about factors promoting the development of podologists' career management skills and the actions integrated in the study process at the University of Latvia P. Stradins Medical College. The research findings prove that career education is a set of planned actions, which is closely connected with the development of students' professional skills and the formation of sustainable awareness, which is integrated in the study process.

“…The first two criteria suggest that professors at universities of applied sciences have a closer relationship to continuing higher education in terms of content because theory and practice are connected in this field (Cendon 2019).

This article will answer the research question if relatedness and organizational resources influence the teaching motivation in continuing higher education, whereby a distinction is made between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. Self-determination theory is used as the theoretical underpinning. We conducted a survey of 549 continuing higher education university faculty. Regression analysis determined that relatedness was correlated with intrinsic teaching motivation but was not correlated with extrinsic teaching motivation. Meanwhile, organizational resources increase both intrinsic and extrinsic teaching motivation. Professors are more extrinsically motivated than other faculty. The older university faculty tends to be less extrinsically and more intrinsically motivated. Additionally, female university faculty are more intrinsically motivated than male university faculty.
