| Streszczenie: | This article explores the relationship between higher sports education and employability through the framework of human capital development based on theories of human, social, and cultural capital. Using a narrative review methodology, the study synthesizes interdisciplinary research from economics, education policy, and sports science to examine how education facilitates labor market integration within the context of economic development. The analysis focuses on four thematic areas: (a) the contribution of higher sports education to employability, (b) the role of dual careers and lifelong learning in enhancing human capital value, (c) entrepreneurship as a driver of innovation, and (d) the influence of educational policy and institutional strategies on professional integration. The study highlights how sports education fosters both technical and transferable skills, enhancing adaptability, productivity and economic performance. A SWOT analysis identifies internal strengths and weaknesses of educational systems and external opportunities and threats from labour market trends and technological advancements. The findings underscore the necessity of aligning curricula with labour market needs, supporting dual career paths and integrating entrepreneurship into academic programs. Strategic policy proposals include fostering collaboration among educational institutions, sports organizations and industry stakeholders to better prepare graduates for a competitive labour market. Additionally, the article emphasizes the need for institutional reforms that promote innovation and interdisciplinary in sports education. Future research should explore the economic outcomes of sports education programs, the impact of investments in sports infrastructure and the role of higher education in emerging areas such as esports and sports technology. Overall, sports education is positioned as a strategic tool for both personal development and economic growth. |
