Abstract

The brazilian National System of Higher Education Assessment (SINAES) was established in 2004 and evaluates the Higher Education Institutions (IES) in its various levels. One of those levels focuses on the policies for student services (9th level). The main theme of this research is the study of the effectiveness of training of undergraduates, with the overall goal of studying such effectiveness through evaluation of graduates. As specific objectives, we intended to propose a management model that considers the views of graduates and creates an information structure that allow the use of the opinions of graduates for institutional management. To achieve these goals, we carried out a survey research, online questionnaire, which was answered by 99 students of Faculdades Cearenses (n = 99), in a universe of 600 graduates of 2008-2012. The collection began in September 2012 and ended in March 2013.With the data obtained was possible to assess the satisfaction level of graduates with training, structural and learning conditions, expectations for the future careers and achieving these expectations. We conclude that the opinion of the egress can be used as a source of information for the planning of actions of FaC, being an integrated part of the model proposed by this research.It is hoped that this study contributes to policies and strategies based on the perception of graduates are adopted to provide improved educational quality of higher education institutions.
