Purpose: To analyze the professional insertion process of Administration and Public Administration course graduates in Brazil, with ages ranging from 18 to 36, who graduated after 2011. Originality/value: As the main contribution of the study, it is possible to highlight the contingent of well-qualified professionals that are unemployed or in informal and often underoccupied jobs, indicating the expansion of non-qualifying job insertion. Thus, as a widespread problem which cuts across different ages, classes, genders, races, and ethnicities, this aggravating factor in the labor market falls mainly on individuals with higher education that are working jobs below their skill and education levels. Design/methodology/approach: This study has a quantitative, non-probabilistic, non-experimental, transversal, and descriptive approach. Data collection began in September 2018 and ended in November 2018. The sample consisted of 847 cases, divided by regions: 344 from Southeast, 244 from South, 163 from Northeast, 56 from Midwest, and 40 from North. Findings: It is worth noting that 73% of the respondents did not spend more than one year to professionally enter into the labor market, 20% of graduates are in positions with less than undergraduate education requirements, and 16.6% are not working. In addition, despite being well qualified, the investigated professionals share a structurally fragile occupational scenario, especially about the types of employment contracts practiced, regardless of their sociodemographic characteristics.

The internships are important to these youngters' beginning in the market for they permit the students to develop working experiences within their formation area. However, with the changes in the work market, this modality has been twisted from its original pedagogical project, taking therefore the shape of underemployment. In order to deepen the comprehension over this theme, this work's goal is to analyse how to organize the internship market in the Management area within the town of Porto Alegre. It has been chosen to focus in the area of Management because it is one of the most significant regarding the number of offers for internships. To the fullfilment of the research articles and data from research institutions, wich have evidenced the transformations within the occupational and educational structures in the country, the legal aspects (laws 9.474 from 1977 and 11.788 from 2008); interwviews with centers of integration (two); representatives from university institutions (four) and students of Management courses from a public institution (21) and one private (11) have been analized. It has been realized that the growing of the university management courses, the heterogeneity of new work contracts and the acting of intermediates contribute to increasing the models of internships which are distant from the goal of formation and with the similarities of a regular job. This scenario provides some space to the appearance of distortions, in which internships receive the characteristics of temporary jobs where the legislation is not always fulfiled [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents the concept of professional insertion, considering an analytical model and an agenda of research for studies in Brazil. We start with theoretical survey texts of French literature in reason of the long tradition in studies on professional insertion of young of different social groups and carried through levels of formation in that country. Finally, we propose a model for understanding professional insertion that adopts a procedural perspective considering the relationship between individual characteristics, the institutional aspects that guide the timing of entry into the labor market and the historical and the social context.
