In this sense this work has investigated what university students know about the concept of employability and what measures the have taken to acquire it. The subjects of our research were 254 university students in the last year of the courses of Psychology, Business Administration and Civil Engineering of a private university in the state of São Paulo.

Although students from different courses presented some particularities related to employability. They have shown to adopt similar actions to achieve it. |
