Entre a teoria e a prática: a atuação no mercado de trabalho dos estagiários e egressos do curso de arquivologia da Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais

Abstract

University education is fundamental for the development of professional skills that aim to meet society's demands, and the university, represented by its various courses, has a preponderant role in modern society. In Minas Gerais, the Archivology course at the Federal University of Minas Gerais - UFMG started in 2009 as a way to meet a social need and, since the beginning of the course, there was a great demand from the institutions for interns, signaling signs of a job market to be surveyed. Thus, the general objective of this work was to know the context of the performance of the interns of the UFMG Archivology course, from the perspective of the contracting institutions, with regard to some concepts and practices, and of the graduates of the course, as well as possible implications in the labor market. Work for the archivist: how the interns worked within the institutions, how these institutions see the archivist and his object, to investigate with the graduates the professional market they encountered, identifying the influence of the course in this "new" niche of work, and consequently know and promote the work process under development. The methodological procedure was the field research, with the application of a questionnaire to the graduates and an interview with the institutions hiring interns. At the end of the research it was concluded that the labor market in Belo Horizonte, through its public and private institutions, needs to evolve and advance with regard to the concepts and practices related to archives and archivists, as the understanding today is incipient, generally.
