Cursos gerenciais da UFU e a inserção no mercado de trabalho

Abstract

The general objective of this study is to identify how the process of insertion into the job market of undergraduates and graduates of the Administration, Accounting Sciences and Information Management courses at UFU takes place. The methodological approach adopted for this research is qualitative, exploratory and descriptive, where a questionnaire-style question script was used to conduct asynchronous interviews from November 14 to 28, 2024. A central challenge identified was the significant influence of the contact network on professional insertion, where a broad network facilitated opportunities, while a limited network hindered access to the market. Respondents recognized a wide variety of positions and segments in the management area, taking advantage of these opportunities consciously and aligned with their objectives. Despite the initial difficulties and expectations clashes, they demonstrated resilience, updating themselves and facing obstacles with determination. The inclusion of junior companies in a more accessible way and integrated into the mandatory internship could fill the lack of practical experience, in addition to strengthening the construction of contact networks essential for professional insertion.
