The transition of recent university graduates into the labor market is increasingly complex due to globalization and rapid technological advancements, requiring continuous learning and adaptation. Our study analyzes the alignment between the graduate profiles of Software and Telematics students from the State Technical University of Quevedo (UTEQ) and the professional profiles demanded by companies, particularly through the Hiring Room portal. By utilizing data mining techniques and the Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) model, key competencies required by employers were identified and compared with the educational outcomes of UTEQ’s programs. Our findings highlight significant gaps in areas such as Soft Skills, Cybersecurity Certifications and Multidisciplinary Knowledge, particularly in the field of Data Analytics. We suggest the need for curriculum updates to better align with market demands and equip graduates with the necessary skills for employability. We will apply this methodology to other job portals or focus on analyzing profiles demanded by companies for remote jobs.

摘要

The transition of recent university graduates into the labor market is increasingly complex due to globalization and rapid technological advancements, requiring continuous learning and adaptation. Our study analyzes the alignment between the graduate profiles of Software and Telematics students from the State Technical University of Quevedo (UTEQ) and the professional profiles demanded by companies, particularly through the Hiring Room portal. By utilizing data mining techniques and the Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) model, key competencies required by employers were identified and compared with the educational outcomes of UTEQ’s programs. Our findings highlight significant gaps in areas such as Soft Skills, Cybersecurity Certifications and Multidisciplinary Knowledge, particularly in the field of Data Analytics. We suggest the need for curriculum updates to better align with market demands and equip graduates with the necessary skills for employability. We will apply this methodology to other job portals or focus on analyzing profiles demanded by companies for remote jobs.
