VIEIRA, Diana Aguiar; CAIRES, Susana  e  COIMBRA, Joaquim Luís. From higher education to work: contributions of practicum training to job insertion. Rev. bras. orientac. prof [online]. 2011, vol.12, n.1, pp.29-36. ISSN 1984-7270.

This study aims at analyzing the contributions of practicum training in the transition-to-work. In this study, job insertion is understood as a broad process including three interrelated phases: academic training, search for a paid job and adaptation to work. Specifically, our aim was to investigate the impact on career exploration, self-efficacy and career goals in a sample of 337 senior Portuguese students. The results showed benefits in terms of career exploration, self-efficacy and career goals with students that had a practicum experience, as compared to the ones who had not had that opportunity.

Palavras-chave : school-to-work transition; practicum experience; higher education; self-efficacy; job insertion.
