2. Select ideas
A) To create a state enterprises where recent graduates can work his first year (aimed at
achieving improvements in the quality of life of the citizens of the country) and you can apply
for a second year
The idea seeks to create a "soft work" transition from graduate to the real job market. In this
case the State will benefit from the fresh ideas and free minds of more recent graduates to
improve the quality of life in the country, and the graduate will benefit by the experience of
working in difficult socio-economic contexts, besides having a smoother transition from
college to work
B) Create an University program "Developing soft skills": theater classes, relaxation, body
and oral communication, etc.
This idea is oriented to develope soft skills (universities do not deliver this ones generally)
and in those days the job market really need it. For example, how to be empathetic with the
costumers?, How improve my ability to share with others?, How to avoid stress?, Etc..
The software only contrasted this information and select graduates/jobs with major
coincidences

This programme can give “job experience”
to recent graduates
It is a very attractive programme
This idea is only valid for university graduated
Improve skills regarding a recent graduate
entering the private work
Could be another target? (not only university
students)
How it should work for professionals with low
occupational field (historian)?
How to standardize the experience of
participants in this program versus graduates
working in the private sector?
Include program evaluation
This programme also could be develop by
private sector
Encourage the private sector to hire
professionals who finish the program
