ESPINOZA, Oscar; GONZALEZ, Luis; SANDOVAL, Luis  and  CASTILLO, Dante. ASSESSMENT OF ACADEMIC TRAINING AND JOB PLACEMENT IN GRADUATES FROM TEACHING IN BASIC EDUCATION PROGRAMS IN CHILE. Educ. Rev. [online]. 2018, vol.34, e188596.  Epub Sep 20, 2018. ISSN 1982-6621.  https://doi.org/10.1590/0102-4698188596.

The expansion of access to higher education represented an advancement for the integration of traditionally excluded groups in Chile. However, expanding access is insufficient to ensure the equity of the higher education system. Under this premise, the article seeks to investigate aspects of academic training and employment from the perception of graduates, considering that these dimensions reflect relevant aspects of the degree of equity that could be evidencing the Chilean system. This exploratory study focused on graduates of the Teaching for Basic Education career of three universities with different levels of selectivity of their students. We conclude that there is no evidence that the degree of selectivity, as well as the characteristics and attributes of the academic training received by the graduates of different universities, are perceived as determining factors for the job placement of graduates.
