O arquivista da UEM em Moçambique: uma análise em torno do seu enquadramento no mercado de trabalho (2014 -2017)

Abstract

The present work addresses the assessment of the degree of framing of archivists trained by the School of Communication and Arts of the Eduardo Mondlane University in the national job market. The present evaluation is made using applied research that assumes a qualitative character being supported by a set of methodologies of the social sciences translated, in a specific way, in the inductive approach method which in turn is supported by the monographic procedure method. Allied to these methods are the interview research techniques that made it possible to collect data that make up the evaluation. In order to condition the research to a time horizon, the period between 2014 and 2017 was chosen as the evaluation timeframe. The data collected and later analyzed showed that the archivist's job market is in development and the archivist professionals trained at the Eduardo Mondlane University in this period are included in the job market, being, for the most part, exercising theirfunctions in the public administration. Theframework of these professionals, roughly speaking, was achieved without major problems and a significant part of them are developing activities directly linked to the training obtained at the academy. Notwithstanding the facts above, some challenges were identified within the framework presented of professional archivists, which are essentially linked to the lack of information and/or the little importance given by some institutions to archives, which, consequently, culminates in a relatively low demand. of professional archivists.
