Resumo(s)
TeSP courses (Curso Técnico Superior Profissional) were introduced in Portugal in 2014. This
study analyzes the labor market outcomes of TeSP graduates, focusing on employment patterns,
wage premiums, educational fields and work areas alignment. Using data from Quadros de
Pessoal dataset, the analysis finds that only 15.4% of TeSP graduates are employed in formal
sectors, with 7% of them pursuing bachelor’s degrees. TeSP graduates experience a wage
premium of 14.34% compared to those with lower education, though it is smaller than for
bachelor’s holders (31.52%). The study highlights the role of TeSP courses in bridging
vocational and higher education.
