A problemática das competências técnico-profissionais tem sido ponto de referência nos sistemas de ensino de vários países, dos quais Angola faz parte. Com vista a aferir a demanda do mercado quanto a tais competências, desenvolveu-se um estudo exploratório cujo objectivo foi conhecer as competências profissionais predominantes, na perspectiva das empresas angolanas, que os egressados das Instituições de Ensino Secundário Técnico-Profissional devem possuir para o bom desempenho nos locais de trabalho. Para materializar o propósito da pesquisa, recorreu-se a vários métodos, com destaque para o método monográfico, a análise bibliográfica e documental, o estudo de caso e o método estatístico, mediante o uso da moda. Com base neste procedimento, foi possível determinar as variáveis de maior frequência na ordenação das preferências da amostra analisada, composta por 272 respondentes. Os resultados demonstraram como predominantes as seguintes competências: generalização de conhecimento, com 196 scores; relacionamento interpessoal, com 190 scores; e conhecimento técnico sólido, com 185 scores, enquadradas, respectivamente, nas categorias de competências técnicas/práticas, competências comportamentais e competências técnicas/teóricas. A partir dos resultados, abre-se espaço para reflexão sobre a necessidade de reformas na implementação do currículo do Subsistema de Ensino Secundário Técnico-Profissional, com ênfase nas competências identificadas como mais importantes pelo mercado de trabalho.
