Resumen

Ante los profundos cambios que se han producido en los entornos laborales, surge la necesidad de conocer si los estudiantes de programas de maestría poseen las habilidades que demandan los empleadores. El objetivo de esta investigación es examinar la percepción que tienen los estudiantes sobre cuáles son las destrezas técnicas especializadas, humanas y/o gerenciales que ofrecen mayor posibilidad de que los empleadores los recluten para ocupar puestos gerenciales.
El presente estudio descriptivo, con enfoque cuantitativo, recurrió a un muestreo no probabilístico y por conveniencia de 75 participantes. El estudio mostró que los estudiantes perciben que, para ser seleccionados para puestos gerenciales, las habilidades técnicas son las más relevantes, seguidas por las habilidades interpersonales, mientras que las gerenciales no son tan valoradas.
Este estudio sienta las bases para que las instituciones educativas realicen una revisión curricular asegurando que los estudiantes no solo adquieran los conocimientos teóricos sino también las habilidades técnicas y humanas aplicables directamente al mercado laboral.
