This qualitative descriptive research aims to describe the profile of egress student of PRONATEC. An amount of 587 egresses answered a survey which were analyzed through descriptive statistics. The results show that a considerable number of respondents are out of job market. Besides, many egresses included on the job market are not working at their original course due to the lack of opportunity.
