Abstract

The aims of this article is to analyze the conception of job readiness within the undergraduate training process in Cuba. The results obtained highlight that preparation for employment is a process integrated with curriculum development, professional practice and the university-society link, which contributes to an integral and relevant training. It is concluded that the stage of preparation for employment is not an end in itself, but the starting point for the professional improvement and continuous development of graduates, ensuring their successful integration and their capacity for innovation in the Cuban labor context. The theoretical methods used to identify weaknesses and strengths demonstrate the need for further practical training with a view to adapting to work in a changing Cuban labour market.
