Abstract
In the last years, Universities have created an office of placement to facilitate the employability of graduates. University placement offices select for companies, which offer a job and/or training position, a large number of graduates only based on degree and grades.
We adapt c-means algorithm to discover professional profiles from job announcements. We analyse 1,650 job announcements collected in DB SOUL since January 1st, 2010 to April 5th, 2011.

Currently the DB SOUL collects 52,000 graduate CVs, of which about 27,000 come from “Sapienza,” 7,500 from “Roma Tre,” 2,500 from “Tor Vergata,” and 15,000 from other universities not only of the Lazio region (LUMSA, LUISS, Tuscia, and Cassino), but also from other regions (e.g., Napoli Federico II, Salerno, Bari, Bologna, Chieti-Pescara, Lecce).
