Análise e descoberta do conhecimento do perfil profissional dos egressos da UFC- Quixadá

Abstract

In the current context of the job market, information technology (IT) has played an important role in the business context. Companies are looking for a profile of qualified IT professionals with versatility and capacity to meet the needs of the companies. In this context, the goal of this work was to know the professional profile of the graduates of the Federal University of Ceará (UFC) of Quixadá before the job market. The study was carried out using the Knowledge Discovery Technique (KDD), with clustering and descriptive analyzes, with the help of the Weka tool. The data for the study was collected using a questionnaire applied to a population of 249 graduates and obtaining 118 responses, approximately 47.4% of the possible answers. From the analyzes, a strong tendency was observed that those graduated in Information Systems tend to have better salaries, had more facility to enter the job market, had better career plans, in relation to those graduated in the Software Engineering course. However, no further analysis was possible because of the low amount of data obtained in the research and the little exploitation of algorithms and data mining (DM) tools to deal with the subject.
