  abstract = {The quality of human inputs of the economic system is conferred primarily by education, but the validation of this quality, at least from the economic point of view, can only be achieved through the labor market.  Ensuring the smoothing of the school-to-work transition, even if it is done differently from country to country, is a must have of any functional and efficient economy. But what happens when an economic crisis destabilizes the connection between the two markets, breaking temporarily or permanently the access roads between the education market and the labor market?  What happens when the economic crisis turns off the light and the road between the two markets is no longer visible? The paper aims to capture the perception of students on the changes generated by SARS-CoV 2 pandemic on some basic pillars of the school-to-work transition: access to useful and professionally relevant information, the image of the professional profile before and after the beginning of the pandemic, how students intend to make transition from the university to being employed and sources of well-being in an unpredictable and dynamic economy. The data used in our analysis comes from a self-administered questionnaire, that was shared and filled in online by students from the University POLITEHNICA of Bucharest. We conclude with the main findings of our study and their implications, and further directions to assess this issue.
