Chemistry students should know about their job prospects before their graduation. Knowledge of the chemical industry will allow to consciously develop their career. Depending on what we want to deal with in the future, we should pay attention to the leaders in the chemical manufacturing sector as potential employers, and the development perspectives in chemical industry, if we are planning to start a business connected with it. An important factor in the development of chemical industry in Poland is its membership in the European Union. Our country has agreed to comply with strict rules, such as the protection of the environment. Therefore, both emerging and existing companies are required to implement European standards for the reduction of toxins, energy consumption and recycling. An important advantage of our membership is the ability to use European funding, which can help to start one's own innovative businesses.
