The purpose of this exploration is to study the adequacy of training to employment based on the opinion of the employees themselves. The relationship between training and employment is a singularly important debate that emerges with each educational reform, or with the technological transformations linked to the new paradigms in the organization of work and to the new organizational models of companies. This debate has led to the development of theories of correspondence, "connective" theories, linked to certain aspects of the theory of human capital and functionalists. The debate is not new, but it is endless. The origin of the debate between training and employment dates back to the end of the 19th century. The thrust of the connection between training and employment seems to be related on two sides: that of educational institutions because of their interest in controlling curricula linked to modernization and industrialization: educational institutions were trying to avoid being marginalized from technological progress. On the side of companies, whose demand for new professional profiles with greater technical preparation was an unavoidable necessity.
