O olhar de egressos de administração do Campus IV/UFPB sobrea relação entre competências do projeto pedagógico do curso e características das indústrias 4.0 e 5.0

Abstract

Competencies are increasingly attracting the interest of researchers due to new market transformations, particularly concerning the changes brought by Industries 4.0 and 5.0. Therefore, the aim of this study is to connect the competencies identified by graduates of the Business Administration program at the Federal University of Paraíba, Campus IV, with those listed in its pedagogical course plan (PPC) and the characteristics of Industries 4.0 and 5.0. To achieve this, the study employs a qualitative and descriptive approach, utilizing a semi-structured interview guide with graduates of the Business Administration program, the target entity of the research. Discourse analysis was used to understand the results obtained. The findings indicate a greater development of soft skills, particularly the ability to learn how to learn, interpersonal relationship skills, and entrepreneurial capability. Meanwhile, hard skills, although conceptually welladdressed, were not practically explored during the training, becoming one of the main factors hindering their full development by graduates. The conclusion suggests that the competencies developed throughout the training process align not only with what is proposed by the PPC but also with the characteristics described in Industries 4.0 and 5.0.
