Introduction
The project sought to clarify the relationship that the ITVG Computing Degree and its graduates have with society. This study turns out to be a means to evaluate the relevance of the degree, the quality of the study plans and programs, as well as the expectations of the graduates. The study addresses aspects related to the education they received and the graduates' work field, which have their own schemes but which converge in many aspects. The project includes a population of graduates from the Bachelor of Computer Science corresponding to the graduation cycle in 2005 until the generation that graduated in January 2009.

Conclusions / Observations
The Technological Institute of the Guadiana Valley has the need to face great challenges that the contemporary world presents to it, not only due to social, political or economic events, but also due to the demand of various sectors that influence the formation of the graduate in the computer science career.. The institution's mission must improve and strengthen the relationship with society and concretize its daily actions in the full formation processes of its graduates, since they will have to integrate into society, fostering in them a positive image of the development of their communities..
