These results allow us to identify areas for improvement in the study plans and promote links with the country's productive sector. Graduate Follow-up studies are a key tool to evaluate the academic quality of Tecnológico de Monterrey because they focus on measuring the ultimate impact of educational work: the performance of graduates and their contribution to society.
