Abstract

The labor market has shown an increase in female participation, however, even though women have great achievements in rights, the market presents gender segregation in terms of managerial positions and remuneration. Increasingly, women have being standing out in their professional careers. The following research presents a viewpoint for those egresses of the Accounting Science course at Federal University of Uberlandia – Pontal Campus, in order to trace the professional trajectory of these women, identifying if they received appreciation and professional growth because of the graduation. Due to the descriptive character generated by the application of a questionnaire to the egresses of seven classes which have already concluded the course, it was possible to compare the professional performance of the egresses before and after the graduation. The research shows that women who were not active in the market when they started the course after the graduation were received by the labor market, in which 35% of these egresses work in the accounting field, but it is possible to notice that after the graduation the composition of the duties performed, and the remuneration changed, allowing it to trace the characteristics of the egresses´ professional trajectory.
