Item type:Publication, Jóvenes universitarios que trabajan(2023-08-03)Combinar estudios y trabajo en simultáneo es una realidad para muchos estudiantes en sus trayectorias universitarias. El presente artículo aborda la situación de estudiantes universitarios de origen rural que trabajan mediante el análisis de sus experiencias laborales y los significados que les atribuyen en relación con sus estudios. Los resultados dan cuenta de que los estudiantes trabajan por diferentes razones y que el trabajo es una dimensión importante, pues, además de permitirles costear sus estudios, aporta en el desarrollo e integración de aprendizajes que consideran valiosos para la mejora de su nivel de empleabilidad. En ese sentido, el estudio explora los vínculos entre educación y trabajo en la educación superior; a su vez, muestra la diversidad existente en la población estudiantil universitaria y contribuye con la comprensión de la toma de decisiones en sus procesos educativos. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Is Digital Personal Branding the Ticket to Executive Employability? Exploring Bourdieusian Capital in Latin America(Universidad Icesi, 2025-01-01)This study analyzes the influence of digital personal branding on the employability of Peruvian and Colombian executives, who are active on social media. Using a qualitative, phenomenological approach and Bourdieu's theory of capital as a conceptual framework,in-depth interviews were conducted to explore how executives experience and manage their digital personal brand. Data analyzed with ATLAS.ti shows that strategic digital branding enhances professional visibility and positioning. Findings reveal that social capital facilitates access to opportunities, cultural capital sustains performance through knowledge and skills, and symbolic capital reinforces legitimacy through prestige and academic credentials. This study offers theoretical and practical insights and shows that digital personal branding strengthens employability by amplifying, not replacing, core professional competencies in highlycompetitive labor markets.1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Career paths and university education: factors that determine the employment status of university graduates(Frontiers Media, 2025-01-01)Employment outcomes are more strongly associated with specific career paths than with academic performance. Despite expanding university access, significant gaps persist between the training received and labor market conditions. The objective was to identify and analyze the factors that influence the employment situation of university graduates. A quantitative explanatory approach was used, with a sample of 3,009 graduates. A structured survey was administered, and the data were analyzed using Logistic regression, Lasso regression, and Random Forest models. The results show that the variables with the greatest predictive power are the type of contract, time spent working, and income level. In contrast, academic variables such as GPA and theoretical or practical training showed little relevance. In comparison, employability is more associated with specific career paths than academic merits. The study reveals important findings for universities to strengthen applied training, encourage early entry into the workforce, and develop monitoring systems that allow them to adapt their educational offerings to the real demands of the professional environment. Understanding the factors that influence graduate employability is crucial to enhancing the significance of education and improving professional opportunities.1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Artificial intelligence skills and their impact on the employability of university graduates(Frontiers Media, 2025-01-01)Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative technology in multiple areas, including the labor market. Its incorporation into organizations redefines professional profiles, required skills, and employability conditions. In this context, it is essential to understand how university graduates are preparing to face these changes and what role their AI skills play in their integration into the workforce. The study aimed to analyze the level of AI skills and their impact on the employability of university graduates through a quantitative and descriptive design. A survey was conducted with a sample of 148 undergraduate and graduate graduates. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and visualized using graphs. The results indicated that graduates who report greater knowledge and more frequent use of AI tools, especially generative ones such as ChatGPT, are more likely to be employed in areas related to their majors and to perceive higher productivity and better professional alignment. However, a generational gap in digital skills was also identified, as well as a widespread feeling of insufficient preparation for the challenges of the current labor market. The conclusion is that AI skills are consolidating as a key differentiating factor in employability and that their formal incorporation into university curricula is urgently needed. The implications of the study point to the need for an educational transformation that integrates AI as a transversal skill, promotes ongoing teacher training, and fosters policies that guarantee inclusive education aligned with the challenges of the digital age.6 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Are we learning what the market needs? A comparative study on online continuing education and workforce demand in Spanish-speaking countries(SAGE Publishing, 2026-01-01)The growing gap between the skills acquired through continuing education and the competencies demanded by the digital labor market is becoming increasingly relevant in Latin America and other Spanish-speaking countries. While millions of professionals engage with platforms like Coursera and edX, it remains unclear whether these learning pathways truly reflect the evolving demands of industry, particularly in the context of remote work, digital transformation, and automation. This study analyzes the alignment between the most studied skills in online continuing education and the most in-demand skills in the job market across seven Spanish-speaking countries. Using secondary data from Coursera's Global Skills Report, LinkedIn Economic Graph (2023), and regional labor statistics from the ILO and ECLAC (CEPAL), we construct a skill alignment index and apply cluster analysis to identify national patterns. By introducing a replicable Skill Alignment Index, this study offers a comparative framework to assess national alignment patterns in digitally transitioning economies. Findings reveal significant disparities in alignment levels, with countries such as Chile and Spain exhibiting high convergence, while others like Ecuador and Peru show critical gaps. These results suggest that while digital education is expanding, it may not always serve as a bridge to emerging employment opportunities. We discuss implications for higher education institutions, public policy, and workforce development strategies in the Global South.2
