Preparation for the employment of the computer engineer, modeled from training management

Abstract

The demands of the 4th Goal of the 2030 Agenda represent a challenge for Cuban universities, as scientific and social institutions responsible for fostering professional development processes, both initial and continuous, in line with the needs and interests of today's society. This article is the result of an investigative effort aimed at socializing the pedagogical model of formative management in the preparation for employment of computer engineers, to address the relationship between university and enterprise for professionals at the University of Oriente. The proposal used methods such as historical-logical, which allowed defining the historical background discussed by various authors regarding the continuous education process. The analysis-synthesis and documentary analysis, which accompanied the entire research process, helped establish connections and determine common and divergent points in the approaches studied. The systemic-structural method enabled the theoretical development of the pedagogical model, and the modeling allowed the structuring and relation of the model. Surveys and interviews were applied to explore opinions on employment preparation and diagnose aspects that require improvement. Based on the above, a pedagogical model for the formative management of employment preparation for computer engineers in the university-enterprise relationship is developed. The theoretical model is organized from the general theory of systems, which enhances the contribution of science to employment preparation. The proposal strengthens the relationship between university and enterprise and updates the knowledge of graduates, considering their weaknesses and interests from the employer's perspective.
