This article delves into one of the results obtained in the institutional research entitled Job positioning and characterization of graduates from Universidad Tecnológica de El Salvador (Utec). This article focuses on the perceptions graduates have in terms of the relationship between their academic training and their professional development, including their capacity to be employed, as well as the relation between their current job and their major. The results showed the following facts: 63, 9 % of graduates is currently working in fields related to their academic training. This perception becomes more obvious in males and in those who belong to the rural areas. Though the graduates also pointed out that their academic training has been useful and helpful in their job thus allowing them to perform better, this has no direct relation to being able to get a job or improving the opportunity for a better job.
