Preparação para o mercado de trabalho: perspectivas dos acadêmicos de Administração da UFAL do 5° ao último período

Abstract

With increasing technological advancement, the level of knowledge or training required by the job market has evolved steadily. Understanding these changes, we observe the complexity of the activity of an administrator who wants to act and exercise his function in this very complex and demanding market. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the perception of administration students at the Federal University of Alagoas (UFAL) regarding the preparation during all the training offered in the course to face the current job market. Based on a quantitative research, based on an online questionnaire, given the impossibility of faceto-face application due to the implications generated by the Covid19 pandemic and other data collected through secondary sources, the text demonstrates that, despite the Federal University of Alagoas has a pedagogical plan that presents a curriculum, projects and actions that aim to develop the skills and characteristics necessary for a good administrator to face the job market, academics do not feel so prepared only with the knowledge provided at graduation. According to data analysis, students see a need to update the curriculum, in addition to the need for greater inclusion on the part of the university so that some groups of students, such as those who take the course at night and work during the day, can have access to extracurricular activities carried out during the graduation period. In general, this article seeks to positively meet its objectives.
