This research discusses the results of a questionnaire survey conducted with a sample of more than 1000 students belonging to the Mohamed V University of Rabat. The study examines how students perceive the permeability of the labor market borders according to certain individual characteristics. To achieve this objective, multi-factor analyzes of variance (ANOVA) were conducted. Findings support significant associations between perceived permeability, on the one hand, and the type of establishment (open or selective access), the follow-up or not of training in Soft Skills, and the realization or not of student jobs, on the other hand. On the contrary, the sex of the student, the university level, and the follow-up or not of training in job search techniques do not maintain a relationship with perceived permeability.
