¿Y después de la universidad qué? Análisis de las transiciones del sistema educativo al empleo en España

Este artículo analiza la inserción laboral de los titulados universitarios en España. Mediante una muestra de 23 885 graduados en 2009 se estudian las probabilidades de acceso al empleo cinco años después de la obtención de la titulación. Los resultados muestran que, si bien las probabilidades de acabar sobreeducados son altas para hombres y mujeres, una mayor inversión educativa asegura mejores oportunidades laborales para ambos. Además, se confirma que las mujeres, en igualdades formativas, tienen más dificultades que los hombres para acceder a los empleos de calidad. Asimismo, se establece que mientras que las carreras que presentan mayor empleabilidad son las sanitarias y las ingenierías, las que peores posibilidades laborales presentan son las científicas, las ciencias sociales y las humanísticas. Por último, se comprueba que los hombres con estudios masculinizados tienen más facilidades para insertarse laboralmente y menores probabilidades de acabar sobreeducados que las mujeres con las mismas características.

A regionális tehetséggazdálkodás vizsgálati módszerei a Pécsi Tudományegyetem Közgazdaságtudományi Kar hallgatóinak példáján

A területi tehetséggazdálkodás – azaz a kiváló képességű emberi erőforrás tudatos vonzása, megőrzése, motiválása és fejlesztése – eredményessége jelentős hatást gyakorolhat a régiókra, a nemzetgazdaságokra. A tanulmány a Pécsi Tudományegyetem Közgazdaságtudományi Kar (PTE KTK) szakmai gyakorlatos hallgatói közül – háromdimenziós értékelési módszerrel – azonosított tehetségek területi preferenciáit mutatja be. Célom az volt, hogy mind módszerek, mind eredmények tekintetében fontos, újszerű és hasznos megállapításokat tegyek a tehetséggazdálkodásról. A tehetségek térbeli sajátosságait szekunder kutatások alapján mutatom be, amelyhez 2005–2014 között a szakmai gyakorlatokról gyűjtött empirikus adatelemzés legfontosabb eredményeit használom fel. A fenti időszakban 5186 db kérdőív gyűlt össze a hallgatóktól és a mentoroktól, melyet a hallgatók tanulmányi eredményeivel egészítettem ki. A hallgatói, munkaerő-piaci és felsőoktatási oldal értékelése alapján azonosítottam a tehetségeket és vizsgáltam térbeli sajátosságaikat. Hipotézisem szerint az egyes régiókban más és más kompetenciakészlettel rendelkező egyetemi hallgató számít tehetségesnek, azaz a tehetség fogalmának összetétele régiónként eltérő. Szignifikáns különbségeket mutattam ki az egyes régiók elvárt kompetenciái mentén: Közép-Magyarországon erőteljesebb elvárás az idegen nyelv magas szintű ismerete, a módszertani ismeretek, az informatikai tudás, a konfliktuskezelési készség, a gyors beilleszkedés és a stressz tűrése, mint Dél-Dunántúlon. Kimutatható Közép-Magyarország tehetségelszívó hatása is a gyakornoki helyeken keresztül, ami már előrevetítheti a pályakezdő diplomások munkahely- választási preferenciáit. Kutatásom eredményeit a hazai gazdasági-üzleti felsőoktatási intézményekre vonatkoztatom a PTE KTK példáján keresztül.

Benchmarking Academic Programs in Business Analytics

Interest in business analytics (BA) is currently popular. Professional consultancies and software houses are both touting it as the next wave in business, claiming that the need for BA skills is large and growing. Universities are beginning to respond by offering undergraduate majors and minors, Master of Science degrees, certificates, and concentrations within their Master of Business Administration programs. But what subjects are being covered in these programs? We surveyed some of the largest, most established, and best-known programs (predominantly in the United States, but some international) and interviewed representatives of these programs to better understand the requirements for students entering, the required and elective course topics covered, and job opportunities for graduates. In this article, we summarize our findings and provide some conclusions about analytics programs, including the current landscape, suggestions for development, and our vision for the future. We believe this report is useful to institutions that offer analytics programs, to those considering such offerings, and to the employers who are hiring analytics professionals. These employers need to better understand the skills that professionals are acquiring. Finally, it should help prospective students who seek to understand the analytics programs being offered to find the best match for their skills and interests.

Trends in Soil Science Education and Employment

During the last several decades, members of the SSSA have discussed several trends related to soil science education, including: (i) declining academic programs and course offerings at land grant universities, (ii) decreased enrollments, and (iii) improved employment opportunities for soil science graduates (SSSA, 2006; Ferris et al., 2010). The SSSA Advocacy/Education Task Force met in 2007 and concluded that quantitative survey information was needed to document trends in soil science academic programs, student enrollment, faculty, and job opportunities for graduates. Suggested survey topics included: · Has the recognition of soil science as a distinct discipline increased or decreased? · How has the job market changed during the past decade, and how will job opportunities for soil scientists change in the future? · How have undergraduate and graduate soils curricula changed during the last decade? · Has enrollment in soil science degree programs and courses changed during the past decade? · Has there been a change in the degree programs of students enrolling in soils courses in the past decade? · Have soil science programs been combined with other programs? Therefore, the objective of the survey was to quantify trends in student enrollment, faculty positions, pertinent educational issues in soil and related sciences, and career or job opportunities and trends. Expected outcomes included a better understanding of current educational practices and trends, and identification of specific opportunities for SSSA to enhance the practice and profession of soil science.

OSHA Cards and Instruction in Construction Safety

In 1995, 17 schools with authorized outreach trainers on their faculties were surveyed to ascertain the number of students being issued OSHA cards, and to determine how safety education was delivered within their curriculums. These same 17 schools were re-contacted for the current study to determine the changes that have occurred in the last 10 years with respect to (1) OSHA card issuance, (2) the effect safety training and the OSHA cards have on job opportunities for graduates, (3) the status of authorized trainers on faculty, and (4) the status of safety instructional methods and content at the university level. It was found that the number of construction students receiving the 30 Hour cards has increased, their effect on job opportunities is positive, programs continue to have authorized outreach trainers on their faculty, and there are more dedicated courses for construction safety instruction now than 10 years ago.

The financial distress of higher education: impact on nursing.

SummaryUntil recently, serious financial problems were of limited concern to nursing education. With generous program and student aid from government sources, nursing education has not felt the same kind of severe financial distress that has afflicted the rest of higher education (Gonyea,1978). Unfortunately this state of affairs is changing. Funding of such programs is an expensive proposition for colleges and universities, and some institutions of higher education have begun to question the feasibility of continuing to fund their nursing programs (Allen & Gray,1975). Additionally, as supply and demand gaps in nursing manpower have narrowed, there is less incentive for the government to underwrite the costs of nursing education.It is expected that tuition costs to nursing students will continue to escalate. Job opportunities for graduates will be less attractive and fewer in number than previously. Fewer women in the future are likely to select nursing as their career field. Small nursing education programs will be unable to sustain the very high costs of educating students and will likely cease to exist. Nursing education programs within colleges and universities will very likely compete less successfully with other institutional programs than they have in the past for the limited dollars.As in all of higher education, nursing education will increasingly be held accountable for its costs, costs that will only increase in the coming decade. It will be asked to do more with far fewer resources, in terms of dollars, numbers of students, and numbers of programs. Should this trend continue, the profession may well be confronted in 20 to 30 years with another critical shortage of nurses across the nation.
