Characterization of the graduates of the public accounting program of the Universidad de la Amazonia 2013-2015.

Abstract

There is a link between the University and the individuals during the training process, but when the status of student changes to graduate, the level of relationship is weaker and weaker. This dynamic configures the loss of a great opportunity for improvement, since the reality, the experience and the perception of the professionals make it possible to design improvement actions. In the case of the Public Accounting Program of the Universidad de la Amazonia- Colombia, the level of occupation is unknown, as well as the correspondence between their training and job performance. It is for this reason that this article seeks to clarify the occupation of this study group, from whose approach can be rescued options for improvement for the program itself.

The present study was carried out at the Universidad de la Amazonia, in the Municipality of Florencia, Department of Caquetá. The research was empirical-analytical, exploratory, descriptive with quantitative instruments Results and Discussion. Most of the graduates are working in what they studied, but this is closely related to the fact that this was their activity before starting their studies; however, the levels of income and postgraduate training are relatively low. Conclusions. The university should design strategies to improve the means of communication and interaction with graduates, as well as to encourage access to the academic portfolio.
