Labor Market, Training, Development, SkillsAbstract
The enlargement of the development of skills and competences in university students becomes of great importance for insertion in the labor market, since, in general, the gap between academic education and the labor market is evident. Therefore, this article aims to analyze the importance of extracurricular training, focusing on the Temporada de Minicursos (TMC), an activity developed by the Tutorial Education Program (PET) of the Civil Engineering course at the Federal University of Ceará (UFC), in the development of hard skills and soft skills of the participants. To achieve the objectives, two analyzes were performed, one quantitative and the other qualitative, based on data obtained from the 8th edition of TMC. The results obtained on the analyzes showed that the participants involved in the activity were able to develop their skills and, consequently, apply them in the academic and professional areas.
