Introduction: The challenges that Vocational Training must face, the abandonment of studies, the deficit in skills for lifelong training, and the lack of initiative for self-orientation, have led to formulating the general objective of this study: Analyze the perceptions of the students, in relation to professional orientation, through the project-based learning methodology, in the initial training for teaching of the Vocational Training cycles, in the students of the University Master's Degree in Teaching. Methodology: Quasi-experimental methodological design, implementing project-based learning (Cronbach's Alpha α=.797), in a non-probabilistic sample of 42 students (n=42), University of Zaragoza (Spain). Results: The capacity for analysis is averagely low in 95% of the students, however the Pearson correlation between the communication and analysis variables is high, r=.937. Discussion: The technological and digital progress of the post-industrial society must review professional orientation by interpreting labor market information and the evolution of skills. Conclusions: The main finding of this research is related to the lack of prospective analysis of students in relation to the National Catalog of Competency Standards. © 2025, HISIN (History of Information Systems).
