To collect the information, more than 2,000 recent graduates from 10 private higher education institutions in the country were interviewed. The volunteers, who graduated between July 2020 and June 2021, transmitted the following data regarding the level of work formalization:
Graduates in information technology stood out in terms of employability, with 80% of them claiming to be working after graduation. Soon after are engineering, with 77%. According to the researchers, investments in technology and the confinement due to COVID-19, which made the “home office” possible, further boosted the offer of vacancies in these areas.
Health professionals also show good results, with about 72% of recent graduates employed, and 85% of these working in the area they chose. However, it is impossible to measure the impact of the pandemic on these numbers, as this is only the first edition of the survey.
Meanwhile, bachelors and technologists had a good performance in the labor market, with around 70% employability, while those with a degree reached only 61%.
Still at the top of the list, former technology students also stand out among those with the best salaries, with an average of BRL 5,268.75. Meanwhile, initial salaries for education professionals are the lowest, around R$ 2,273.76.
