Management skills in the training of administrators

The evaluation of quality of a bachelor's program necessarily involves the identification of graduated professionals' profiles. The first research conducted with graduates of Business Administration Bachelor's Program of the Federal University of Santa Maria (UFSM), object of this study, was conducted by Schuch Jr. (1976). This research was retaken and new dimensions of analysis were added, aiming to approach the development of competences according to what is established by the National Curricular Guidelines. The study was conducted with bachelors graduated between 2005 and 2009. Through this research it was intended to know the professional reality, to identify the professional competences required and the contribution of the program in terms of academic training to the development of competences. The methodological strategy used was a descriptive and quantitative case study. Data collection was conducted through the application of two kinds of structured questionnaires, with closed and open questions, involving a sample of 121 graduates. The application of factorial analysis technique allowed the identification of the main competences demanded by the professional market: standards and values, adaptation and negotiation, knowledge and technician-professional. The results suggest that the expectations proposed by the National Curricular Guidelines are thoroughly developed by the Business Administration Bachelor's Program of Federal University de Santa Maria.
