Relating the process of professional socialisation to professional adaptability and age, the hypothesis is raised that professional adaptability of young adults is lower than that of mature adults. The survey of 44 part-time students of different age from Lithuanian University of Educational Sciences applying the Career Adapt-Abilities Scale (CAAS) (Savickas, Porfeli, 2012) revealed that professional adaptability of young adults is statistically significantly lower than that of mature adults.
