Labor Market Insertion of Computer Systems Engineering Graduates of the “Facultad Multidisciplinaria Paracentral” (2003 - 2022)

Abstract

The research carried out in 2022 at the Paracentral Multidisciplinary Faculty with graduates of the Computer Systems Engineering career seeks to know the assessments of the professional and academic development of graduates between 2003 and 2022. The research was based on a quantitative approach, divided into three phases: planning, execution, and data analysis. During the planning phase, a questionnaire with mostly closed questions was designed. The execution phase involved the distribution of the questionnaire through Google Forms, using institutional mail and social networks such as Facebook. In the data analysis phase, the collected responses were processed in Excel and then analyzed with the statistical software PSPP. Frequency and crossover analysis of variables were carried out to identify patterns and differences, considering factors such as gender and years of work experience. The participation was 216 graduates (68.52% men and 31.48% women), of which 96.30% were working at the time of the study, a significant percentage (44%) already had a formal job at the time of graduation. It was found that 64.35% were carrying out their work in some of the computer science areas (programming, computer center administration, Full stack developer, analysis, etc.), and there is 37.50% who have carried out entrepreneurial activities both individually as group.
