Abstract

With the unbridled globalization, the labor market has undergone profound changes, bringing new demands on the workforce, which has reflected directly on the employability of students. Employability, in turn, is understood as the ability of individuals to adapt to the new demands of the world of work and organizations through the development of skills related to human capital, cultural capital and social capital, supported by the pillars: Vocational Suitability, Professional Competence, Suitability, Physical and Mental Health, Financial Reserves and Alternative Sources and Relationship. Therefore, this work has as its main objective to analyze the students' perception regarding the development and the support of their employability. Regarding the methodology, the quantitative approach and the type of descriptive research were used. Data collection occurred through a questionnaire with closed questions tabulated in Excel and later transported and analyzed based on bivariate statistics, using factor analysis, normality and homogeneity test, correlation and comparative analysis between means, cluster analysis, using the SPSS 20 software (Statistical Package of Social Sciences). With the factor analysis, it was found in 9 factors that explain 71% of the research data regarding the scalar assertions. As for the dichotomous assertions, some cluster groupings were tested, where it was noticed that 3 clusters could show the presence or absence of capital development among the respondents. In addition, one can observe the existence of a group of students that stands out among the others in the development of their employability. Based on the discussions, a model was elaborated that delineates the construction of employability through the interrelationship between the types of capital and the pillars for sustaining this employability having as a substantial element the individual himself and his attitudes.
