The methodological procedures used to achieve the objectives results of this objective include an exploratory research that was carried out through the analysis of scientific works, in the guides of the Brazilian Classification of Occupations, in the of Knowledge in Software Engineering, in addition to the National Curricular Guidelines of the Computing, and a quantitative analysis, through the application of a questionnaire, directed to students of Information Technology courses. As a result obtained from exploratory research, it was possible to identify 55 skills and competences. Of these, 64% are related to technical skills and knowledge and 36% correspond to behavioral skills and competences. Through quantitative research, it was possible to verify that 94% of the skills and competences are little perceived by IT students. However, for 100%, it is very important.
