YOUNG HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES AND THE JOB MARKET

Abstract

The globalization of national education, specifically of the school, can be equated with the promotion or a space of skills and competences that can form critical citizens, capable of thinking and, also, of becoming professional; it was motivated by the international trend of countries that have recently modified their educational systems, with proposals for differentiated curricula, while still seeking solutions for the capital society in crisis (PIOLLI; SALA, 2020). It is necessary to prepare young graduates who are not interested in or are not able to enter Higher Education, needing to enter and be accepted by the job market. According to Vilhena (2019), it is necessary to approach High School, as a representation of education, so that young people establish bonds of trust and intensify their credibility in this vehicle as a projection for the future and for the conquest of the job market. The theme meets the needs of human capital in the labor market, with skills and competences to meet business demands. It was already motivated by the evidence and tests of the curriculum reform and before its regulation of mandatory compliance with the proposed schedule; that is, before Ordinance no. 521/21. The proposal of this study is justified and relevant because a complementary social curriculum suggested for the professionalization or training of young people graduating from high school, through the development of skills and competences demanded for the improvement of their intellectual capital, can represent success for the employability of those who aim to enter the job market.
