CHARLES, Laurent Franck Junior; BARROS, Simone Dutra Lucas Delba Teixeira Rodrigues and CIRINO, Sérgio Dias. Profile and professional trajectory of graduates of a PhD program. Rev. bras. orientac. prof [online]. 2022, vol.23, n.2, pp.189-201. ISSN 1984-7270. https://doi.org/10.26707/1984-7270/2022v23n0207.
The main objective of this research was to investigate the professional trajectory of the alumni who graduated from the Psychology Doctoral Program at UFMG. We analyzed the professional trajectory of 88 doctors (56 females and 32 males) who graduated from UFMG from 2012 to 2018. The methodology used was documentary analysis, with data obtained through the curriculum Lattes, LinkedIn, among others. This analysis aimed to examine the academic and professional profile of the doctors, origin, and professional destinations. The results showed that, of the total sample, 73 (83%) doctors currently work as teachers in public and private higher education institutions. Moreover, this finding is consistent with previous studies that pointed out that universities are the main employers of doctors.
