| dc.description.abstract | With the growth of tourism in recent years, the demand for higher education in Hospitality Management has increased, having contributed to the integration of a greater number of graduates in the labour market. In this research, the (dis)articulation between polytechnic higher education and the hospitality management labour market is analysed, focusing on the competencies and career paths of graduates in this area. The general objective of this research is to analyse the process of developing professional skills of graduates in Hotel Management, through the perspectives of the various actors, seeking to understand how they perceive the role of training, in such a process, on the one hand, and the role of practice and professional experience, on the other. Based on the interpretative paradigm, authors adopted a mixed approach, combining semi-structured interviews to courses directors of Higher Education Institutions and representatives from the labour market, and a questionnaire applied to Hospitality Management graduates. The ensuing data was analysed through content and statistical analysis. The results demonstrate the relevance of internships as contexts of training and professional integration, as well as the technical and transversal competencies in which graduates feel more confident, not always concurring with what employers require or those that are developed by the educational/training system. Research shows that the articulation between the education/training system and the labour market has gaps at various levels, demonstrating that a dialogue between these scopes is a pressing need. | pt_PT |
