Abstract

SANCHEZ OLAYARRIA, César. The communicator graduated at the Universidad del Altiplano's professional practice: An overlook of his/her career. Perfiles educativos [online]. 2012, vol.34, n.137, pp.119-144. ISSN 0185-2698.

The excessive growth of the enrollment rates, the predominance of a specific professional training model and the saturation of the labor market, together with the characteristic features of globalization and the transformations within the world of communications are the framework with which communicators who graduate at the Universidad del Altiplano (Tlaxcala, Mexico) have to cope. In this article the author presents an analysis of their professional practice based on a career study. The results allowed to identify three fields of professional performance: in communications, where most of the graduated students are working, and two different domains, the first one indirectly connected with their training, and the other not linked at all with the studies; both domains have experienced a significative growth because of the saturation of the media that, paradoxically, keep being the main working field. The training they have achieved at the University has allowed the students to develop a rising mobility towards management positions as they professional career moves forward.

Keywords : Professional careers; Professional practice; Training Communicator; Graduated students.
