Resumo(s)
Nos últimos anos aumentaram as pressões exercidas sobre as Instituições de Ensino Superior (IEs) para que, além da educação/formação, também assumam responsabilidades no âmbito da inserção profissional dos seus diplomados. O mercado de trabalho está cada vez mais exigente, competitivo e volátil, com contornos imprecisos e facilitador da construção de percursos menos previsíveis e não lineares. Por outro lado, constata-se uma proliferação sem precedentes na oferta de formação de nível superior, bem como a emergência de uma lógica de avaliação das IEs assente em critérios de eficiência como, por exemplo, os relacionados com o grau de empregabilidade dos seus diplomados. Os estágios, ao propiciarem uma aproximação dos estudantes à realidade profissional e ao mercado de trabalho, tornaram-se numa prática amplamente difundida na maioria dos currículos das IES. É objetivo da presente comunicação refletir sobre o potencial dos estágios enquanto instrumentos de promoção do desenvolvimento vocacional e propor recomendações sobre como intencionalizar estas experiências tendo em vista a preparação da transição para o mercado de trabalho dos estudantes. Não apenas este é um tópico em que escasseia literatura, mas também é nossa contenção de que nem sempre os benefícios que podem advir dos estágios são devidamente otimizados pelas IEs.
In recent years Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) experienced an increased pressure to take responsibility for the labor market integration of their degree holders, in addition to being responsible for individuals’ education/training. Such pressure has been accompanied by the establishment of an increasingly demanding, competitive and volatile labor market, marked by uncertainty and that favors the construction of less predictable and non-linear career pathways. This pressure faced by HEIs has also been accompanied by an unprecedented growth in the offer of higher education diplomas, and by the affirmation of an evaluation logic driven by efficiency criteria such as employability. As a result, internships have become a widespread practice in most HE curricula. Internships promote individuals direct exploration of the labor market and, in particular, of actual employment settings. It is our aim to reflect upon the potential of internships for the promotion of HE students’ career development, in what concerns their preparation for the upcoming transition to the labor market. We will also make recommendations directed toward an increased intentionality of internships. Not only literature on the topic is scarce, but such literature also points to a less than optimal use of internships by HEIs concerning students’ career development.
