Vocational and Professional Guidance Process

The beginning of university life for high school graduates generates expectations for their lives, their families and society. Admission processes are marked by knowledge and cognitive skills test scores, and in
to a lesser extent by their aptitudes and desires to be and choose a profession. The dropout of university students is a constant in the first years, which triggers a series of personal, social and economic impacts, both for families and for universities.
