%X This paper, based on empirical research, aims at analyzing interfaces and contradictions of employers' and employees' attitudes to in-service professional training. We present the results of a two-stage empirical research program. The research enabled the identification of the attitude to whether opportunities for learning are provided and what barriers can be identified. Also, the employers' attitudes to the ways of providing these opportunities, and certain contradictions and tasks for the future were identified. Several methods of empirical research have been employed as well as the critical and systemic analyses of documents and literature.
