- Job conditions and expectations of young graduates in Covid-19 contextsPublication . Sousa, Luis Nuno Figueiredo e; Santos, Maria JoãoWork represents a condition of integration, selection, or exclusion of individuals in modern societies. Over the past few decades, we have seen a progressive erosion of the full-time employment model and the emergence of particular forms of employment. More than a process delimited by economic issues, access to work is fundamentally presented as a social process, inducer or reducer of life paths. The current times and what is predicted for the future, goes through a concept that appears described in the Human Development Index Report, 2022, published by the United Nations, Anthropocene. This concept defines what they consider to be the current time and what is predicted for the future: uncertain times, unstable lives, shaping the future in a changing world. The report examines what living in this uncertainty means for human development and how we can continue to thrive despite it. Thus, education territories increasingly have to be concerned with the development of skills that facilitate adaptation to the permanent state of "uncertainty". Emotional literacy appears as a tool that enhances these skills and should be a concern in education and training areas. In this context we are seeing a growing appreciation of educational projects and the initial expectations of young people and their families. The investment of young people and their families in education is increasing progressively, in a context of growing competition from the education system and the labour market. The transition to work for young graduates of higher education is now a major challenge. The analysis of this process has huge complexity in a global covid-19 pandemic context. We seek to highlight and understand the professional availability, perspectives, and expectations of young graduates of polytechnic education (Guarda, Leiria and Viseu) who perform a regular professional activity and also their future professional and educational projects.
