Knowing the requirements of the labor market is a key element in the field of higher education management and, in particular, for institutions committed to the relevance of their educational offer. This study seeks to know how employees evaluate the work performance of graduates of the Civil Engineering Degree program of the Universidad Michoacana de San Nicolás de Hidalgo.

From a mixed approach and under the logic of the case study, the information collected through a survey and a focus group with recipients was analyzed and it is concluded, on the one hand, that the job performance of the graduates of the educational program under study, In general, it is good and its evaluation improves when compared with graduates of other educational institutions. Likewise, users will appreciate the generic skills that graduates have as much as the specific skills; However, when highlighting the main areas of opportunity in which attention should be paid for the comprehensive training of future generations, there seems to be a general opinion that it is the generic competences where it can be said that the University has a greater debt with the labor market of civil engineering professionals.
