The majority of future university students will already know their grades of the Baccalaureate Assessment for University Access (EBAU), which has replaced the former Selectividad. Now they have a more complicated task than to prepare for this test: they must choose a university career. In a decision of this type it is essential to take into account the vocation, but we must also assess other factors that today play an important role in the development of any professional. The labor market is advancing faster than ever, the digital revolution is transforming the traditional professions, a large number of jobs are being automated and new occupations are appearing.
"Young people must make a visionary bet and analyze what the labor market will need in five years' time, they have to study what specialties have become fashionable in a timely manner and which ones show good prospects. The university will allow them to develop further, "advises Juan Corro, academic director of the U-tad engineering area.
According to Degree Advisor, platform developed by Job Lab CEU-Santander, the most demanded degrees by young people are Administration and Business Management (ADE), Psychology, Nursing, Medicine, Law, Architecture, Early Childhood Education, Law + ADE and Criminology + Psychology . Thus, the report made by this tool, which offers guidance services to choose a university career, concludes that students tend to opt for the areas of health, law and politics and economics and business. On the contrary, architecture and design, physical, chemical and geological sciences are the least requested.
Employ ability
Companies and students coincide in their interest for some degrees, as it happens with ADE and Law. Year after year these disciplines present a large number of job opportunities. In addition, ADE is one of those careers that can be integrated with almost any discipline. Thus, double degrees have been created with specialties as varied as Engineering in Industrial Technologies, Computer Engineering, International Relations and Advertising. "In this way, future professionals can acquire a business vision, something that organizations demand a lot," says Joan Rodón, associate dean of Esade's Business Administration (BBA) degree.
On the contrary, the companies miss that there are more enrolled in the more technical branches. According to the analysis prepared by Randstad Professionals, the degrees with the best professional outcomes are Industrial and Automation Engineering, Aeronautics, Information Technology and Medicine. These areas show a lower unemployment rate of 7%. In short, STEM careers (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) are a sure bet on employment. However, the difficulty of its contents and the ignorance on the part of the students of the multiple labor exits make that they are not among the priorities of the future university students. In fact, it is estimated that applications in these branches will fall by 3% over the next five years.
Thus, in the more technical field it is expected that IT engineers continue to accumulate most of the job offers. In the health area, Medicine, Nursing and Pharmacy stand out. Some of the most innovative positions are those of the medical advisor or medical manager , and those responsible for national and regional market access or the health economics specialist . There is also an expected increase in the demand for specialized profiles in Optics and Optometry or Dentistry.
The news
The change of the associations has gotten new open doors careers that from the earlier may appear to be minimal employable. María Victoria García, executive of the training and work office of the ICAI-ICADE University, gives as illustration the degrees of Physiotherapy or Teaching. For the to start with, there are an ever increasing number of organizations and inns keen on offering their administrations. As far as concerns its, the field of instructing has expanded its core interest. The most widely recognized choice has been to hone in an instructional hub, yet now there are likewise conceivable outcomes in the distributers of reading material or web stages to help the examination.
Yet, the greatest developments have come as an inseparable unit with the advanced upset. As per Gartner, computerized business will increment 500% worldwide by 2018. Capabilities identified with new advancements are as of now basic to get to an occupation, something that future experts ought not overlook.
In this sense, the branch of information investigation is one of the ones that will become the most. The masters in the accumulation, administration and understanding of data are requested in all divisions. Programming engineers, PC researchers, mathematicians and frameworks designers are perfect for information examination positions. Enthusiasm for cybersecurity specialists will likewise increment. The lion's share of these experts originate from the degrees of Industrial Engineering, Telecommunications, Computer Science and Physics. At long last, one more of the most encouraging patterns is the field of ease of use and improvement of portable applications , which requires specialists in programming and advanced outline.
Actually digitization will achieve all employments. Thusly, "it is vital that college graduates are prepared in these aptitudes, paying little heed to the degree they are enlisted in. It ought not be overlooked that these aptitudes are likewise requested for positions in social or humanistic branches," reviews Carmen Sebrango, in charge of expert careers at the CEU San Pablo University. So the individuals who settle on careers as History or Philosophy, which are some of those with less career openings, need to supplement their preparation with a computerized vision. Indeed, an ever increasing number of mechanical firms request humanist profiles. Associations need to consolidate a moral vision on how new advances ought to be actualized. Due,
In this line, Belén Charro, guide and educator of brain research at the workforce of human and sociologies of Comillas ICAI-ICADE, reminds that understudies must think about the offers of a similar degree between various colleges: "With the entry of the plans of Bologna, the focuses have a considerable measure of opportunity to pick subjects in their examination designs, particularly in the schedules of specialization, in the expert practices and in the potential outcomes of internationalization ".
