Resumo

O objetivo do artigo foi identificar os determinantes do processo de obtenção de emprego por jovens egressos do ensino superior público brasileiro. Para tanto, aplicamos um questionário a uma expressiva amostra de 11.458 egressos, de 18 universidades federais. Utilizando Análise de Conteúdo, os resultados sugerem que os principais determinantes para os egressos conseguirem emprego são: capital humano (diploma de graduação, experiência profissional anterior e cursos complementares);  capital cultural (domínio de idiomas estrangeiros); e capital social (indicação de amigos da universidade, de amigos do trabalho anterior, de outros amigos de fora da família, da universidade e do trabalho e de familiares).
