This article presents a study that aimed to assess the possibility of using public data from the social network Facebook to identify the academic and professional paths of graduates of an integrated high school. A questionnaire was also used to compare the scope of two data collection methods. The study was carried out with 244 graduates from a federal institute. Of these, 195 were found on the social network and only 21 responded to the questionnaire. The results showed that Facebook is very interesting for monitoring graduates, 61% of whom provided information on their education itinerary and 20% on professional performance. However, the use of a questionnaire is still necessary to obtain the graduates’ opinion.
