“…Como lo propone la Escuela de Enfermería y Ciencias de la Salud de Tottori en Japón, considerándola fundamental para mejorar la calidad del cuidado y garantizar el desarrollo profesional (22). El estímulo de capacidades organizativas entre estudiantes de pregrado puede generar una conexión que favorezca pasar de la educación superior al mundo laboral (23), ya que al tener la perspectiva de cuerpo organizado, agremiado o sindicalizado, los egresados cuentan con una red de soporte y apoyo que favorece su cambio del rol estudiante al rol de trabajador.…”

La situación laboral de los egresados y el impacto social de la formación se constituyen en el principal insumo para que el programa adapte sus contenidos, currículos y metodologías, en pro del desarrollo las competencias profesionales que la sociedad demanda. Objetivo: Identificar la situación laboral y el impacto social de los egresados del programa de Enfermería de la Universidad del Magdalena, para el periodo comprendido entre 2007 a 2019. Materiales y métodos: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo transversal. La información, de fuente secundaria, fue aportada por la oficina de egresados de la Universidad del Magdalena, para el periodo de 2007 a 2019. La población fue de 328 graduados. Se hicieron análisis univariados y bivariados para identificar posibles diferencias significativas, (Ji2 p<0,05) entre características sociodemográficas con características laborales y de satisfacción. Resultados: La situación laboral se caracterizó por la permanencia de egresados en Colombia y en la región Caribe. Se contó con una tasa de ocupación de 69,5%, principalmente vinculados por contrato a término fijo o por orden de prestación de servicios y en el sector privado. La mayoría de los egresados se sienten satisfechos de su profesión y recomiendan el programa por su calidad. Conclusiones: Las características laborales identificadas imponen el reto institucional de generar estrategias innovadoras en nuevas pedagogías y didácticas y desarrollo de nuevas habilidades para que los egresados tengan más opciones en el tránsito al mundo laboral. Hasta ahora se ha logrado contar con profesionales que aportan a la sociedad pero el programa debe seguirse adaptando a nuevas necesidades del entorno.

“…Of the four participants in the HE category who have graduated from university, none have degree specific jobs, neither do they have graduate level work. Rather, they have significantly lower incomes than generally anticipated graduate occupations (see Elken and Tellman 2019).…”

“…These education institutions also partly measure their success through student educational progression, and by student 'employability' (THE 2018;EURASHE 2020). Nationally and internationally, education institutions, in conjunction with employers, could identify such students and provide interventionist collaboration to focus not only on employability but actually on the gaining, and thereafter the maintenance of their employment (Taylor, Lehman, and Raykov 2015;Elken and Tellman 2019). There are multiple directions that research could go in assessing the social and educational experiences of women and girls with Triple X.…”

Triple X superwomen: their post-compulsory education and employability

The further and higher educational experiences and consequent employability of women with the under-researched Triple X syndrome are arguably unknown. This research study examines their special educational needs (where relevant), and their negotiation of conventional educative systems, throughout the stages of post-compulsory education and into the world of work. The prevalent individualist societal focus means that education bodies promote their qualification offers for students to gain individual employability currency, in order to secure their own futures. Ten women with Triple X were asked to reflect on their post-compulsory education experiences, considering their varying developmental and cultural barriers to access, and their employability skill set against the background of the likelihood of their transferring this to a position of graduate employment. Findings illustrate the significance of socio-economic background and support network, as well as varying individual cognitive capacity and also health status in participants being able to varying degrees, to secure a sense of stability and contentment: yet no woman secured graduate employment. By way of a further conclusion this research discloses the systemic lack of awareness of the existence of Triple X on the part of educational bodies and employers, a problem which further research is needed to address.

Shaping and negotiating entrepreneurial selves in academic entrepreneurship education

Entrepreneurship education appears to be a way to extend market orientation in academic education into pedagogical arrangements and students’ self-understanding. This we find in a case study of a startup entrepreneurship course designed and promoted by the international Junior Achievement -network and organised co-operatively by four Finnish higher education institutions. We examine how the course practices do not only develop students’ business skills but also aim to shape their entrepreneurial mind-sets and behaviour, simultaneously promoting practical and vocational approach to academic education. We are interested in how students internalise these practices and, specifically, how they challenge and resist the expectations targeted to them. Our analysis of the course materials and students’ reflections represents entrepreneurship education as a governing technology, which draws on market logic in attempting to make students employable, autonomous and proactive entrepreneurial subjects. Students seem to have internalised the favoured subjectivity, but they also subtly break the expectations when they are given a chance. Applying market logic in the pedagogical practices of academic education tends to dismiss and ignore the value of abstract theoretical cultivation and redefines the roles of a teacher and a student.
