This study explores the employability of Social Sciences and Humanities graduates from the perspective of the professional representations and expectations of undergraduate students. To this end, 75 students (42 men and 33 women aged 19 to 24 ; x̄= 20.77; σ=1.61) enrolled in a Bachelor's degree programme in psychology at Félix Houphouët-Boigny University were surveyed using a questionnaire and a semi-structured interview guide. Analysis of the data collected reveals that students' perceptions of SSH focus on the content of the programme, the objectives pursued and the resources needed to succeed. In addition, analysis of the interviews reveals four dimensions of students' professional expectations : personal development, preparation for the profession, psychosocial support/guidance, and internships/professional experience/career prospects. These results show that respondents have diverse representations of SHS and professional expectations that are more focused on training combining theory and practice, and objective preparation for careers through immersion internships in companies. Such results could contribute to promoting SHS employability policies in the current context of economic and social change.
