Abstract(s)
O tema escolhido para esta dissertação surgiu a partir da nossa própria vivência académica e
seus desafios e quando fora do Ensino Superior: o mercado de trabalho. Um dos motivos para
a escolha também foi a falta de exploração investigatória das áreas sociais sobre o assunto, um
assunto moderno e importante para as novas gerações profissionais. Neste novo tempo, as
inseguranças e anseios do público jovem relativamente ao mercado de trabalho é significativa.
A vida estável, o trabalho digno e os salários fixos são cada dia mais escassos, fazendo com que
as exigências sejam excedentes às perpassadas pelo Ensino Superior. A massificação do acesso
ao Ensino Superior trouxe ainda a competitividade e um retorno ilusório de uma vida quase
que inalcançável aos jovens em Portugal. Por tal, desenvolveu-se um estudo de natureza
qualitativa, o qual teve aplicação via inquérito por questionário a quinze estudantes de uma
Instituição de Ensino Superior (IES) do Norte de Portugal, procurando desmistificar questões
sobre ensino e sua preparação para o mercado de trabalho atual. A análise dos dados
coletados pelos questionários promoveu o entendimento sobre as experiências pessoais dos
estudantes quanto à empregabilidade na sua relação com a vida académica. Diante dos
resultados foi possível compreender que os jovens enfrentam um conjunto de barreiras para a
inserção no mercado de trabalho atual, entre elas a pouca oferta e a elevada procura de
empregos, indicando estes novos tempos serem ainda mais competitivos. Ainda sim, refletiuse sobre a relevância da aquisição de competências e do estímulo nas IES para a obtenção de
experiência profissional, evidenciando a importância dos estágios e/ou projetos de contacto
com a comunidade. Igualmente, este estudo propõe demonstrar que os jovens estão
preocupados quanto à sua inserção profissional atual e que procuram adquirir competências
para uma melhor adaptabilidade ao mundo do trabalho, que reconhecem como necessárias. O
principal contributo deste estudo foi revelar uma nova área aos Educadores Sociais,
entendendo que a profissão deve estar atenta às novas questões sociais e às suas
necessidades, demonstrando a importância do papel deste profissional no Ensino Superior,
qualificando o ensino e proporcionando melhorias quanto a preparação dos futuros
profissionais.
The topic chosen for this dissertation arose from our own academic experience and its challenges outside higher education: the labour market. One of the reasons for the choice was also the lack of research in social areas on the subject, a modern and important subject for the new professional generations. In this new era, young people's insecurities and anxieties about the labour market are significant. A stable life, decent work and fixed salaries are becoming more and more scarce, making the demands exceed those of higher education. The massification of access to higher education has also brought competitiveness and an illusory return to a life that is almost unattainable for young people in Portugal. For this reason, a qualitative study was carried out, using a questionnaire survey of fifteen students from a Higher Education Institution (HEI) in the north of Portugal, seeking to demystify questions about education and its preparation for the current labour market. Analysing the data collected through the questionnaires helped us understand the students' personal experiences of employability in relation to their academic life. From the results, it was possible to understand that young people face a number of barriers to entering today's labour market, including the low supply and high demand for jobs, indicating that these new times are even more competitive. It also reflected on the importance of acquiring skills and encouraging people to gain professional experience at HEIs, highlighting the importance of internships and/or community contact projects. Likewise, this study aims to show that young people are concerned about their current professional integration and that they are looking to acquire skills for better adaptability to the world of work, which they recognise as necessary. The main contribution of this study was to reveal a new area to Social Educators, understanding that the profession must be attentive to new social issues and their needs, demonstrating the importance of the role of this professional in Higher Education, qualifying teaching and providing improvements in the preparation of future professionals.
