Abstract

This research was carried out based on data provided by SENESCYT for the ESPOCH Gastronomy career. The objective was to present the report on the Behavior Analysis of the demand of the ESPOCH applicants in the academic period October 2019-February 2020, as an indicative parameter of the openness that young graduates have to access quotas and the tendency to a possible increase in demand and participation. According to the objective set, a qualitative approach was used to make a contextualized study of the existing problem, the quantitative one refers to data analysis; a bibliographic research; descriptive because it has the interest of characterizing a population group of students and correlational. The techniques for collecting information correspond to data provided by SENECYT, applying the analysis through graphs and statistics for interpretation. The analyzed data showed an increase in the demand for students for the Gastronomy career in the II Semester 2019, the number of quotas that were not accepted for this period was 30, a result that requires elements of analysis since there are aspects such as lack of advice and training, review of entrance exams, information on professional options, labor fields, socio-economic and demographic situation of the applicants. Informative data collection strategies must be established that allow Higher Education institutions to address and solve certain factors that need to be identified for analysis.
