JIMENEZ ROMERO, María Adriana e FRITZ MACIAS, Heidi Diana. Work Experience in Higher Technical University Graduates in View of the Covid-19 Pandemic. Rev. latinoam. estud. educ. [online]. 2022, vol.52, n.2, pp.183-202. Epub 02-Maio-2022. ISSN 2448-878X. https://doi.org/10.48102/rlee.2022.52.2.493.
This paper presents the results of an investigation on the work experience of Higher Technical University graduates of the Universidad Iberoamericana, Mexico City (Ibero). These experiences focus on the effects social confinement generated by the Covid-19 pandemic had on their employment and working conditions. It is an extract of a broader cross-sectional qualitative research that explains, through the evidence collected by interviews and using the Photovoice technique -from the Sociology of Work-, how their working conditions changed and how they have responded to these changes. The results reveal an increase in unemployment and underemployment and the need to establish working conditions that safeguard health and economy, not exclusive to workers with technical degrees. However, it identifies that they belong to the most affected population because of their job position and activities. Likewise, it foresees a future for graduates with different occupations that will require new skills, which will force Technical Education Institutions to anticipate and design training according to upcoming job needs.
