The study aimed to understand how professionals with higher education, with 10 to 35 years of experience in the market, maintain their employability in the face of internal and external factors. In-depth interviews were carried out with 11 professionals from different areas, and the data was analyzed using content analysis. The results revealed that maintaining employability is strongly linked to personal factors, such as adaptability, curiosity and confidence. Professionals consider knowledge a valuable asset, aligned with the Human Capital Theory, and stay up to date according to the demands of the market in which they operate. These findings suggest that managers in the educational sector must create structures and processes that follow market demands, including actions that consider students' psychosocial factors. For human resources managers, a more humanized approach and the implementation of clear rules for career development are recommended, in order to reduce personalistic and patriarchal practices that affect employability.
