dc.description.abstractEmployability is an important factor in quality of life and well-being. However, studies on employability and the professional situation of social educators (SE) are still scarce. This study intends to characterize a sample of SE regarding the search time for the first job and their professional experience as SE. It also aims to explore variables that may be associated with employability, as well as reflect on the importance of the professional situation in SE’ quality of life. This is an ex post facto study, with a convenience sample of 83 SE, mostly women (94%), with a mean age of 30.24±9.64. An ad hoc questionnaire was used for the sociodemographic and professional characterization of the sample. To perform the statistical analysis, SPSS 25 was used with a 95% confidence level. Participants that have already worked as SE are 57.8%, with a mean search time for the first job of 11.7 months. A higher proportion of cases with work experience as SE was found among the older participants (p=.032), and those who had volunteer experience (p=.010). Age was also positively associated with a shorter search time for the first job in the social area (p<.001). The results suggest that age and experience of volunteering can improve the SE’ employability. It would be important to further investigate the role of personal and professional experience in accessing the profession, as well as the factors that promote the quality of life associated with SE practice.pt_PT
