I have list of dictionaries

teachers = [

    {
        "id": 0,
        "goals": ["travel", "relocate", "study"],
    },

    {
        "id": 1,
        "goals": ["travel","study"],
    },
    {
        "id": 2,
        "goals": ["travel", "work", "study"],
    },
    {
        "id": 3,
        "goals": ["work", "relocate", "study"],
    }
]

I need to get part of dictionary where in "work" is in list in "goals" :

teachers = [
    {
        "id": 2,
        "goals": ["travel", "work", "study"],
    },

    {
        "id": 3,
        "goals": ["work", "relocate", "study"],
    }
]

How should I solve my problem?

Use filter, the built-in function.

It returns an iterator, which minimized the overhead of list comprehension. If you only need a plain list as the result, just wrap it with a list()

>>> list(filter(lambda o:"work" in o["goals"], teachers))
[{'id': 2, 'goals': ['travel', 'work', 'study']}, {'id': 3, 'goals': ['work', 'relocate', 'study']}]

Get the dictionary by pointing to it's index in the list.

print(teachers[3])

>>>{'id': 3, 'goals': ['work', 'relocate', 'study']}
