Percepção dos graduandos em contabilidade à aptidão e importância das habilidades do IES 3 no mercado de trabalho.

Abstract

The labor market has become increasingly competitive and select, with the result that there is a need for qualified professionals to act in order to satisfy the needs of the Market (MACHADO; CASA NOVA, 2008), in this sense, universities have a fundamental role for vocational training (LEMES; MIRANDA, 2014; OTT et al., 2011). In order to guide universities on the skills to be developed at graduation, the IFAC - International Federation of Accounts sets standards for accounting education through the IES - International Education Standards. The purpose of this study was to identify in the students' perception in undergraduate courses in Accounting Sciences the skills required by the job market for the accountant and how apt they feel about performing them in their work. The research was descriptive, of the survey type with a quantitative approach, whose technical procedure was the application of questionnaires to a sample of 82 undergraduate students enrolled in the last year of the Accounting Sciences course of a public institution. The results indicate that the trainees perceive that the intellectual, interpersonal and communication skills, personal and organizational skills suggested by the IES 3 standard are required by the labor market, but do not feel able to demonstrate such skills in the same magnitude demanded by the market.
