| Sumario: | Universities take on increasingly broad social responsibilities, involving multiple functions, according to their own historical dynamics. Investigating the professional and academic destiny, following the work trajectory of trained professionals and researchers is becoming an increasingly frequent way of highlighting the importance of Universities regarding the training of workers in general. The following article investigates how Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay today deal with the issue of monitoring the graduates of their Universities, either through the National Evaluation System conducted by the Ministry of Education, as in Brazil; either from the National Commission of University Evaluation and Accreditation, also linked to the Ministry of Education, as in Argentina; from the National Agency for Evaluation and Accreditation of Higher Education in Paraguay and the Ad Hoc Accreditation Commission of Uruguay. The three best Universities in each country were selected according to the QS University Ranking Latin America. What is being discussed in the area today is the relationship between professional and continuing training and monitoring the beginning of working life. The approach to work and the difficulties of professional insertion raise different questions regarding the importance of systematic study on graduates; as well as it can be another channel for self-assessment of university institutions, in their relationship with the employability issues of their graduates; as well as on the issues of attraction of national and international students and, mainly, how much it can help Universities to rethink their social performance. |
