Abstract: This study examines the factors influencing the professional integration of graduates from the University of N'Zérékoré, Guinea, through a quantitative survey of 569 graduates from the classes of 2016 to 2021. To study the factors influencing graduates' professional integration, a stratified sampling method based on fields of study was used. The results are based on descriptive statistics and a logistic regression model. The results show that 46.7% of graduates are currently working, mainly in the informal sector (56.3%). Unfortunately, this sector is characterized by a high degree of job insecurity. Indeed, 53.7% of workers have part-time jobs, 16.9% have no employment contract, and 39.4% have a verbal contract. These circumstances make these individuals extremely vulnerable. A number of factors contribute to their integration into the job market, such as their gender, their computer skills, the additional training they undergo and employment-oriented training. University internships, which are mainly research-oriented, have a limited effect on professional integration. This study highlights the need to reform them so that they are more in line with the demands of the job market. The study recommends reorganizing internships so that they offer concrete work experience, improving graduates' digital skills and strengthening partnerships between universities and businesses. These recommendations aim to eliminate the gaps in graduate integration and enhance their employability in the constantly evolving job market.
