Inserción laboral de egresados de ingeniería agroindustrial bajo la óptica de la teoría del capital humano

Abstract

The Agroindustrial Engineering graduates from Centro Universitario de Los Altos come from an environment with economic deficiencies and unfavorable family basis in terms of the low academic level their parents have. The Human Capital Theory establishes among its main precepts that each individual is directly and irreplaceably responsible for their school and work future. With the results I present in these lines, it is verified that the only architects of their labor success are the graduates themselves, and how they’ve used the knowledge they acquired during their academic training. Through the application of a qualitative method, the information I present comes from interviews with the entire group of graduates from the 2008-2012 generation. Corresponding to what academics call a Study Case and the results presented here cannot be extended to other generations of graduates from the same or different majors. It is desirable to compare the characteristics with studies of similar origin but not to transpose the conclusions.
