The aim of this article is to analyze the extent to which students and teachers in the Degree in Pedagogy perceive the training they receive is consistent with employment opportunities in specific professional areas. To do so, we have examined the relationship between students’ and teachers’ perceptions on the training they receive and its connection to employment opportunitiesthrough a descriptive, exploratory, and correlational study. The results show that students perceive the courses in the Degree in Pedagogy enhance professional and employment opportunities to a lesser extent than teachers deem. For both groups, the area of the Degree in Pedagogy with the greatest representation in the professional world is that of ‘Research and Education’. Additionally, both groups believed that the practical training students receive is highly useful for their professional career. The ‘Society and Culture’ and ‘Training and Business’ areas were found to be the less represented throughout the degree. © 2021 The Author(s).
