Opis:This article analyzes the employability of the Mathematics Teaching major graduates, considering theoretical backgrounds on the “employability construct” and results obtained through research regarding job opportunities in the mathematics teaching field. To achieve this, a qualitative study with the new cohort of graduates from the Bachelor’s and Licentiate Degrees in Mathematics Teaching major on the Atlantic Campus, University of Costa Rica (Guápiles, Turrialba, and Paraíso branches) was carried out with the aim of analyzing different perspectives regarding potential jobs, values, attitudes, current employment situation, and employees’ perceptions about the mathematics teachers’ performance around the country. Finally, outstanding reflections are highlighted about the teaching training, the labor demand in the Costa Rican teaching context, and the difficulties graduates face in finding a job related to their major. The need to align academic training with labor market requirements and enhance job prospects for future mathematics educators in Costa Rica is stressed.
