Analysis of the impact of the quality assurance system of the faculties and university schools of Andalusia “IMPLANTA”: employability of the graduates

Abstract

In the process of evaluating university centers, an administrative structure has been developed at a national and regional level, and, not to be outdone, the universities themselves have created their own methods, in which everything is measured except what really matters: Are the graduates produced to access the labor market in their training area? Obviously, the answer is mostly negative, since unemployment in the university graduate sector is extremely high, compared to other European countries, and even when compared to universities in the north and center of Spain. The follow-up of graduates is carried out in an Andalusian university, from the granting of the project 1 disparate results according to the studies completed; the level of employment after a period after finishing the studies is high in medical qualifications, and, to a lesser extent, in engineering. In careers related to the social sciences and humanities, the results are unsatisfactory and should therefore be reviewed. For this reason, there is a need to review the current systems for measuring the quality of educational centers with the future implementation of the new Implanta system, so that they incorporate the analysis of the situation of graduates into university policy and further oriented towards these interests.
