Teacher Training and Employability of Graduates from the National University of Education

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the employability of graduates from the National University of Education (UNAE), evaluating the quality of teacher training and its impact on job placement. UNAE stands out for its mission to transform Ecuador's national education system through the training of competent professionals. The graduate follow-up method is based on a systematic approach that assesses the social relevance of university education and its alignment with the needs of the labor market. The study, based on interoperability data between UNAE and the National Public Records Office, shows that most graduates (75.44%) found employment, with higher rates for postgraduate and distance undergraduate students. The results demonstrate the high demand for UNAE graduates in the educational field, confirming the quality of teacher training and the fulfillment of the institutional mission.
