The situation in the labor market of higher degree holders is, presently, a matter of public and academic debate. The growing difficulties that cover the transition from the education system to the economic one have contributed to increase the visibility of this matter. In this article, and using the degree holders of a Portuguese polytechnic educational institution as a base, we focus on a few aspects that show their transition to the labor market, as well as their assessment of the education conditions and the completed degree, their satisfaction in the current job and profes- sional expectations

Keywords : higher education graduates; transition to work; labor market.
