Para a consecução desta, delineou-se como objetivo geral analisar a competência em informação dos egressos do curso de Biblioteconomia da Região Nordeste do Brasil, especificadamente procurou-se caracterizar os mencionados egressos do período de 2004 a 2014; verificar a capacidade dos egressos para definir as necessidades informacionais; identificar o uso de recursos e estratégias apropriadas para atender às demandas informacionais; averiguar a realização da avaliação eficiente da informação; bem como examinar a compreensão acerca dos aspectos legais no que tange ao uso da informação. Trata-se de uma pesquisa descritiva, com método de levantamento (survey), combinando as abordagens quantitativas e qualitativas. O instrumento de coleta de dados foi o questionário Survey, elaborado de acordo com os Padrões da Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) e à luz da literatura. A população dessa pesquisa são os egressos de nove Instituições de Ensino Superior (IES) federais que abrigam o curso de Biblioteconomia, entretanto, a amostra constituiu-se de 237 participantes. Os dados foram organizados em cinco categorias temáticas. Os resultados oriundos da categoria perfil dos participantes evidenciaram a sua procedência institucional quanto ao ensino básico, o conhecimento acerca do ambiente da biblioteca antes ingressar no curso de Biblioteconomia e a preocupação com a educação continuada após a conclusão do curso, com vistas ao aprimoramento de suas habilidades e competências. Na categoria necessidades e identificação da informação, percebeu-se que os egressos conseguem definir as necessidades informacionais, todavia, demonstram certa dificuldade quanto à identificação e distinção entre as fontes primárias e secundárias, curiosamente as fontes terciárias foram as facilmente identificadas. A categoria estratégias e seleção de recursos demostrou que os egressos usam recursos e estratégias eficientemente para acessar a informação, não obstante, percebeu-se que o uso dos recursos online tem pouca incidência entre os profissionais estudados, o que explica, de certo modo, a baixa frequência quanto ao uso de operadores específicos para recuperar a informação. Quanto à categoria avaliação da informação, constatou-se que os egressos demostram consciência quanto à seleção de informações condizentes com os preceitos científicos, relativos à confiabilidade da informação. Com isso, é possível inferir que estes profissionais conseguem ao acessar a informação, verificar sua pertinência, a fim de que possam atender eficazmente à demanda informacional, atitude esta que está de acordo com os preceitos da ACRL. Finalmente, os dados da categoria aspectos legais no uso da informação evidenciaram que os bibliotecários compreendem os aspectos legais da informação, especialmente em relação aos direitos autorais e a propriedade intelectual. Ainda nesse seguimento, quanto ao registro dos elementos identificadores de uma obra (NBR 6023), que conferem as credenciais de autoria, nota-se uma incompreensão no que se refere a esta prática, o que de certa maneira pode comprometer a recuperação de informações por outrem. Conclui-se, portanto, que de modo geral os egressos adquiriram ao longo de sua formação as competências que são indispensáveis à sua atuação profissional, entretanto, existem aspectos a serem aprimorados. / ABSTRACT The research addresses the information literacy of the graduates at Library Science in northeastern Brazil. To achieve this, outlined as main objective to analyze the information literacy of graduates of Library Science course in the Northeast of Brazil, specifically sought to characterize the mentioned graduates during period of 2004 up to 2014; verify the ability of graduates to define information needs; identify the use of resources and appropriate strategies to meet the informational demands; ascertain the realization of efficient evaluation of information; and to examine the understanding of the legal aspects regarding the use of information. It is a descriptive research with survey method (survey), combining quantitative and qualitative approaches. The data collection instrument was the Survey Questionnaire, prepared in accordance with the standards of the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) and in the light with literature. The population of this research are the graduates from nine higher education federal institutions, that housing the course of librarianship, however, the sample consisted of 237 participants. Data were organized into five thematic categories. The results come from the category profile of the participants showed their institutional origin, as basic education, knowledge about the library environment before joining the course of Library Science, and concern with continuing education after completing the course, in order to improve their skills and competencies. In the category needs and identifying information, it was realized that the graduates are able to define information needs, however, demonstrate some difficulty as to identify and distinguish between primary and secondary sources, and, tertiary sources were easily identified, curiously. The category strategies and selection of the resources demonstrated capabilities that graduates to use the strategies efficiently to access the information, however, it was noticed that the use of online resources has little incidence among professionals studied, which explains, in a sense, the low frequency for the use of specific operators to retrieve the information. As for category evaluation of information, it was found that graduates demonstrate awareness of the selection of information that is consistent with the scientific principles concerning the reliability of the information. This makes it possible to infer that these professionals can, to access information check their relevance, so that they can effectively meet the informational demands, this attitude which is in accordance with the precepts of ACRL. Finally, the data of the category legal aspects in the use of information showed that librarians understand the legal aspects of information, especially in relation to copyright and intellectual property. Although this segment, as the recording of the identifying elements of a publishing (NBR 6023), which give the authorship credentials, notes a misunderstanding with regard to this practice, which in some way may compromise the recovery of information by others. We conclude, therefore, that in general the graduates have acquired throughout his training information literacy that are essential to their professional practice, however, there are aspects to be improved.

In the context of human resource management can be argued that employee selection process is a major activity. This process is essentially based on competencies so job applicants including university graduates with an economic education, should have the desirable core and key competencies that result from job requirements. The aim of this doctoral dissertation is to build up a competency model of economically educated university graduates, according to the needs of employers from the South Bohemian Region's small and medium-sized enterprises and to identify the level of desirable key competencies of students of the Faculty of Economics, the University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice. Core and key competencies' preferences were collected through the questionnaire survey from the 189 human resource managers. The competency model creation was based on the statistical analysis of the identified results. Following the determined employers' preferences of the competencies, the skills of Faculty of Economics' students were also tested to find out their current level of key competencies.

In my thesis, I am finding out about the attitudes of students of the health and social faculty towards their own future occupation prospects. Although the unemployment situation in the Czech Republic as well as the situation in the South Region is favorable, graduates and young people are among the most vulnerable groups in the labor market. The first chapter describes the theoretical background of this issue. This part defines the overall unemployment problems of the Czech Republic, unemployment in the South Region. It describes the labor market and students situation is described based on the educational attainment and then their situation in the Czech Republic is compared to the similar situation abroad. Then it also describes the faculty and defines the issues of helping professions covered by the fields of the faculty. The aim of my thesis was to find out what the students of the faculty imagine when asked of their future occupation. They would like to stay in the field which they graduated from and then why they would want to stay in it or why not. The results show that students of the faculty want to stay in the field they graduated from on the labor market in the future. The research was conducted via questionnaire. In the practical part of the thesis I compared the attitudes of students of health and social fields. I also compared the attitudes of students who are studying in bachelor's program and students who continue their studies in the follow-up study. When it comes to comparison between the social and health studies, it is possible to see the differences in the attitudes of students, as well as the comparison of bachelor and master programs. Thesis may be beneficial for the employment deparment of Czech Republic and for the health and social faculty. Furthermore it may also be beneficial for representatives of state administration who monitor and control the whole system of tertiary education.

Thesis (MTech (Tourism and Hospitality Management))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2017. / The study was planned to investigate the relevance of the National Certificate Vocational tourism programme for the South African tourism industry in terms of the employability and skills required by tourism students to work in the tourism industry, once they graduated. The main objective of this study was to identify the challenges facing the National Certificate Vocational tourism programme, with sub-objectives focussing on the level of graduates’ employability, articulation from the National Certificate Vocational programme to higher education, as well as on the skills and abilities needed by National Certificate Vocational lecturers to teach in their specific field. The research was conducted in the form of an empirical survey to gather information using research questionnaires. A mixed methods approach, using both a quantitative and qualitative methodology, was employed to gather relevant data for the study. Qualitative questionnaires were distributed to a target population comprising conveniently selected National Certificate Vocational Tourism graduates (a total sample of 100), and National Certificate Vocational lecturers (a sample of 50 suitably qualified persons), at four Technical Vocational Education and Training colleges in the Western Cape. Personal interviews were conducted with ten conveniently selected tourism industry employers and role-players. Ten specifically identified representatives of tourism and government education departments and other government organisations were also part of the target population. The first part of the study looked at the history of Vocational Education and how it is practised in other countries. The history of the National Certificate Vocational programmes within South Africa is explained, as well as the challenges facing the National Certificate Vocational tourism qualification and its relevance to the tourism industry in South Africa. Results from the research suggested that National Certificate Vocational tourism students are only employable in small to medium micro enterprises (SMMEs) once they graduate. It was concluded that graduates would need more experience and practical knowledge to be employable in the wider tourism labour market. The results confirm that the updated National Certificate Vocational tourism curriculum is critically important to make the qualification more relevant to the South African tourism industry.

Thesis (MTech (Business Administration (Entrepreneurship)))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2017. / Graduates face challenges to secure relevant employment; even worse, obtaining a qualification does not guarantee employment or employability. The labour market no longer only searches for a qualification but also for a set of skills. Graduates are required to improve upon proficiencies that would qualify for positive performance and would benefit the employer to use for business purposes. In addition, scarcities of expertise, besides working environment knowledge, indicate that businesses are unwilling to employ graduates, hiring more experienced people as an option. This research has studied the developing concept of social entrepreneurship; but principally examined the context in which social entrepreneurship can be used to improve graduate employability. A quantitative method was used with the help of a structured questionnaire in order to achieve a high level of reliability in relation to data analysis. The subjects for this research comprised 187 social entrepreneurs who are formally registered as non-profit organisations within Cape Town, and are registered on the Western Cape Charity South Africa database. The data collected for this study were analysed and illustrated using tables, bars and pie charts. It is hoped that this study will not merely add to the knowledge of social business enterprise, but also disclose the likely roles that social entrepreneurs can play to improve graduate employability. / National Research Foundation(NRF)

On the 1st January 2006, Act No. 435/2004 Sb. on employment, which was amended by Act No. 382/2005 Sb., came into force. The objective of the act is protection against unemployment, securing full employment and combating illegal employment. This includes a change of condition for obtaining the claim for unemployment benefits. One of the conditions for obtaining the claim for unemployment benefits is to pay retirement income insurance and the contribution for the national employment policy for the 12 months in the decisive period of the last there years before being put in the files of job applicants. From the 1st Oct. 2004 systematic preparation for one{\crq}s future occupation was not included as substitutive employment period at all. Since the 1st Jan. 2006, systematic preparation for one{\crq}s future occupation has been included as substitutive employment period; however, not more than 6 months may be included for these purposes. To file their claims for benefit, the graduates have to hold, before being put into the files of job applicants, a job that allocates the duty to pay insurance for at least six months over the last three years. The research was conducted by means of a quantitative sociological investigation. The technique used for data collection was an anonymous questionnaire. The research set was made up of students of the last years of the Faculty of Health and Social Studies of the University of South Bohemia and university and college graduates of in the files of job applicants at the Labour Office in České Budějovice. The objective of my thesis was to find out the attitude of students of the Faculty of Health and Social Studies to their possible employment, to compare the obtained data with the answers of university graduates in the file of job applicants at the Labour Office in České Budějovice and to find out the structure of university graduates registered at the Labour Office in České Budějovice, according to the university or college that they graduated from. The objectives of the thesis have been fulfilled. The outcomes of the thesis could be used as an overview of students{\crq} and graduates{\crq} attitude to unemployment and their future employment. These outcomes can be made use of by those who are in charge of the education of these two groups of people. Unemployment in students can optimally be prevented by preventive measures, e.g. by giving due attention to the choice of the branch of study with respect to its use in the labour market, and by providing each individual student with sufficient information.

The performance of the world{\crq}s biggest economies is slowing down and young people are the most affected as shown by the rising numbers of unemployment, especially among the youths. The aim of this thesis is to identify and map the impact of the global financial crisis on the unemployment of graduates in the South Bohemian Region. My intention was to test the hypothesis of my previous thesis topic ``Life targets of the unemployed graduates in České Budějovice`` and the data obtained by thos investigation/research is to be put into context with reference to the current state of the labour market. In this thesis, I have used the form of quantitative research. As a method of data collection, I have chosen to use interviews and document analysis. The technique, in this case, is the secondary analysis of data from the questinaire. The questionnaire was developed in two forms: on paper (printed copies) and on the Internet (the electronic form) in order to increase data. The questionaire consisted of 22 questions which are well related to the total psycho-social and economic well being of the unemployed and, in as much following the current set hypotheses: {\clqq}The most prefered goals in the lives of the unemployed graduates is to find a well paying job``, most of the graduates still remain in a period of unemployment and hence they are still living with their parents`` and {\clqq}Most of the unemployed graduates tend to adopt an active approach in finding a job``. I contacted the respodents through the job centres in South Bohemia Region. The first hypothesis proved to be wrong whilest the second and third hypothesis proved to be correct and hence the aim of the thesis was fulfilled. This is a very practical topic in connection with unemployment and this work can serve as a basis for further research, especially with subsequent use in schools. This work may also be used as a supplement for specialised courses focusing on issues of unemployment.

Quais os impactos de curto prazo ocorridos a partir dos ciclos iniciais de implantação do “Programa Mais Médicos” (PMM) em municípios do Rio Grande do Sul? Essa dissertação versa um sobre subtipo de ensaio comunitário acerca da problemática em questão, com estudo agregado com múltiplos grupos, longitudinal em série temporal retrospectiva, a partir de dados de fontes secundárias, com análise descritiva de propósito exploratório. Trata-se de 10 grupos conformados por agregados de municípios do Rio Grande do Sul, selecionados e estratificados em 5 faixas populacionais, estando pareados pela condição de implantação e não implantação do PMM. Realizou-se análise comparativa e descritiva de um conjunto selecionado de indicadores correlatos aos serviços de Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS). De um modo geral, observou-se o incremento de indicadores de estrutura nos agregados de municípios com implantação do PMM, notadamente nos agregados com faixas de menores populações. Em termos de indicadores de resultados observou-se discreto incremento na produção de serviços nos agregados com implantação do PMM, contudo, não foram identificadas diferenças significativas de internações por causas sensíveis e de outros indicadores de impacto próprios da APS. As hipóteses mais plausíveis para explicar os achados estão referidas ao exíguo tempo decorrido entre a implantação do PMM e a realização do estudo, além da constatação de que nos ciclos iniciais de implantação do programa houve predominância de caráter substitutivo de trabalho profissional médico nos municípios selecionados para o estudo. / What are the short-term impacts occurred in the early cycles implementation of the "More Doctors Program" (PMM) in municipalities of Rio Grande do Sul? This research focuses on one community trial subtype, added to multiple groups, in longitudinal retrospective time series, based on data from secondary sources, with descriptive analysis of exploratory purpose. It is conformed by 10 groups clusters of municipalities of Rio Grande do Sul, selected and stratified into five population groups, being matched by the deployment condition and not implementation of PMM. We carried out comparative and descriptive analysis of a selected set of indicators related to the services of Primary Health Care (PHC). In general, there was the structure of indicators of growth in clusters of municipalities with implementation of PMM, especially in conglomerates with smaller populations tracks. In terms of outcome indicators showed a slight increase in the production of services in conglomerates with implementation of PMM, however, significant differences in hospital admissions were identified by sensitive causes and other APS's own impact indicators. The most plausible hypotheses to explain the findings are referred to the narrow time between the implementation of the PMM and the study, besides the fact that in the early cycles of program implementation was substitute character predominance of medical professional working in selected municipalities to the study.

Analisa como as diferentes frações do grupo profissional foram afetadas por essas transformações e como suas distintas organizações de interesse agiram na conjuntura política. De um lado, mostra como a partir da combinação das políticas de abertura comercial, de desregulamentação financeira, de privatizações e de reforma do Estado existe uma tendência de aumento da participação do setor privado na economia e de crescente dependência financeira, patrimonial e tecnológica em relação ao exterior, transformando qualitativamente as atividades relacionadas à engenharia. De outro lado, a tese sugere que as políticas de desregulamentação do mercado de trabalho, de reforma da previdência e de focalização dos gastos sociais do Estado tiveram um efeito sobre o grupo profissional no sentido de uma tendência à individualização da gestão de carreira e do bem-estar. A partir de análises quantitativas entre os engenheiros e qualitativas entre estes e suas organizações de interesses, a tese tem como foco central de análise a evolução histórico política do grupo profissional. Parte, num primeiro momento, da descrição da literatura que trata das organizações de interesse dos engenheiros nos anos 1970 e 1980 para, num segundo momento, estudar de modo aprofundado como essas organizações agiram na conjuntura política da década de 1990 e início dos anos 2000. Também faz uma análise exploratória do perfil político dos engenheiros das empresas estatais, em especial da Petrobras, em comparação direta com as transformações ocorridas nas suas situações de trabalho. De um modo geral, a tese defende que a dinâmica das lutas macrossociais exerce um peso considerável no posicionamento político das diferentes frações do grupo profissional e de suas organizações de interesse / Resumé: L'objet d'étude de notre thèse correspond au groupe professionnel des ingénieurs brésiliens face aux transformations politiques et économiques menées au Brésil dans les années 1990 et 2000, notamment l'introduction des politiques néolibérales et de la restructuration productive. La thèse analyse comment les différentes fractions du groupe professionnel ont été touchées par ces transformations et comment ses distinctes organisations d'intérêt ont agit dans la conjoncture politique. D'un coté, la thèse montre comment la combinatoires des politiques d'ouverture commerciale, de déréglementation financière, de privatisations et de reforme de l'État sont liées à l'augmentation de la participation du secteur privé dans l'économie et à la croissante dépendance financière, technologique et patrimoniale du pays envers l'extérieur. D'autre par, la thèse suggère que les politiques de déréglementation du marche de travail, de reforme du système de retraites et de focalisations des dépenses sociales de l'État ont eu un effet sur le groupe professionnel : il y a une croissante tendance d'individualisation de la gestion de la carrière et du bien-être. A partir d'une étude quantitative avec des ingénieurs et qualitative entre ceux et leurs organisations d'intérêt, notre thèse est ciblée sur l'analyse de l'évolution historique et politique du groupe professionnel. Elle part, dans un premier moment, de la description de la littérature que porte sur les organisations d'intérêt des ingénieurs dans les années 1970 et 1980 et analyse, dans un deuxième moment, la façon dont ces organisations ont agit dans la conjoncture politique des années 1990 et 2000. La thèse fait également une analyse exploratoire des profils politiques des ingénieurs des entreprises étatiques, en spéciale la Petrobras, en les comparant directement avec les transformations dans leurs rapports de travail. D'une manière plus générale, notre thèse soutient que la dynamique des luttes macrosociales a d'influence considérable sur le positionnement politique des différentes fractions du groupe professionnel et de ses organisations d'intérêt / Abstract: This thesis analyses Brazilian engineers professional group in the context of the neoliberal policies and of the productive restructuring. It studies how the fractions of the professional group have been affected by these structural transformations and how their different political organizations have reacted in the political conjuncture. On one hand, the thesis shows how the combination of opening up the economy, privatization, States' reform and financial liberalization could raise private sector activities and Brazilian economic dependence. This thesis describes how both transformations have been qualitatively touched engineers activities. On the other hand, it suggests that the liberalization of labor market, the reform of the public retirement system and the policies of focusing State social investments have had an effect on the professional group: a trend towards an individual career and well being management. Through quantitative analyses amongst engineers and qualitative studies among them and their interest organizations, the thesis focuses on analyzing the evolution of political history of the professional group. First, it describes the literature which shows the Brazilian engineers interest organizations during the 1970s and 1980s. Second, it studies in depth how these organizations have acted in the political context of the 1990s and early 2000s. This thesis also makes an exploratory analysis of the political profiles of the engineers of state companies, particularly Petrobras, in direct comparison with the changes occurring in their labor conditions. In general, the thesis argues that the dynamics of the macrosocial conflicts carries considerable weight in the political positioning of the different fractions of the professional group and its interest organizations / Doutorado / Ciencia Politica / Doutor em Ciência Política
