The research is characterized as quantitative, applied, and descriptive, with a longitudinal approach based on official secondary data from the Higher Education Census provided by the National Institute for Educational Studies and Research Anísio Teixeira (Inep). The analysis was conducted through the organization and exploration of data using Business Intelligence techniques and dimensional modeling, including the development of an analytical dashboard that enabled the visualization and interpretation of indicators related to enrollment, dropout, and program completion. The results reveal a critical scenario, with a dropout rate exceeding 60% at the national level, indicating that the expansion of enrollments in Information Technology programs has not been accompanied by a proportional increase in the effective training of professionals in this field. As a contribution, this study highlights the potential of open educational data combined with analytical tools to support the understanding of educational phenomena and to assist evidence-based decision-making in higher education.pt-BRAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 BrazilEnsino superior - Evasão e PermanênciaTecnologia da Informação - BrasilBusiness Intelligence (BI)Dados educacionaisHigher educationInformation technology educationBusiness IntelligenceEducational dataData analysisTrabalho de Conclusão de CursoCIENCIAS EXATAS E DA TERRA:CIENCIA DA COMPUTACAO:METODOLOGIA E TECNICAS DA COMPUTACAO:SISTEMAS DE INFORMACAO
