Abstract. Currently the aeronautical industry demand human resource that is highly competitive with excellent abilities, skills and job skills that allow the growth of this industry in Mexico. UANL offers the educational program in Aeronautical Engineering and because is a program designed under the new competency-based education model, it is necessary to measure the employability of students working under this new teaching-learning process, such as is achieved and even provide feedback to continually improve any area of opportunity in the transition of students during their training. This research presents a cause-effect model where independent variables are considered classified generic competencies: instrumentals, social interaction and integrative, and the dependent variable initial workforce readiness. Todefine the variables, objectives and hypotheses we did an analysis of competency-based international models. Variables were operationalized to design and determine the reliability of the measuring instrument performing the content validity with 12 experts on the competency model. To test the hypothesis of educational program were selected 103 students usingPhase I, II and III as field study. Phase I is an assessment of students, Phase II is an evaluation with teachers and Phase III is the opinion of employers. Finally, we present the results of analysis of the direct influence of generic skills: instrumentals, social interaction and integrative and professional-labor performance work called initial workforce readiness.Keywords: employability, generic competencies, initial workforce readinessResumen. Actualmente la industria Aeronáutica demanda recurso humano que sea altamente competitivo con excelentes capacidades, destrezas y aptitudes laborales que permitan el crecimiento de esta industria en México. En la UANL se oferta el programa educativo de Ingeniero en Aeronáutica y por ser un programa diseñado bajo el nuevo modelo educativo basado en competencias, es necesario medir la empleabilidad de los estudiantes  que trabajan bajo este nuevo proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje, de tal forma de que se logre mejorar continuamente e inclusive retroalimentar cualquier área de oportunidad en el tránsito de estudiantes durante su formación. En esta investigación se plantea un modelo causa-efecto en el que se consideran como variables independientes las competencias genéricas clasificadas en: instrumentales, de interacción social e integradoras; y la variable dependiente la empleabilidad laboral inicial. Se realizó un análisis de los modelos internacionales basados en competencias, definiéndose las variables, los objetivos y las hipótesis. Se operacionalizaron las variables para diseñar y determinar la confiabilidad del instrumento de medición realizándose la validez de contenido con 12 expertos sobre el modelo por competencias. Para probar las hipótesis se seleccionaron 103 estudiantes del PE aplicando Fase I, II y III como estudio de campo. La Fase I es una evaluación de estudiantes, la Fase II es evaluación con profesores y la Fase III es la opinión de los empleadores. Finalmente se presentan los resultados del análisis sobre la influencia directa entre las competencias genéricas: instrumentales, de interacción social e integradoras y el desempeño profesional-laboral llamado empleabilidad laboral inicial.Palabras clave: competencias genéricas, empleabilidad, empleabilidad laboral inicial

Senior Secondary

PurposeA new academic structure for senior secondary and higher education was introduced to Hong Kong in 2009/2010. This paper aims to: (1) compare the cohort from the old academic structure (Cohort 2010) and the cohort from the new academic structure (Cohort 2015) on the 14 categories of generic competencies; and (2) compare these attributes among students from different divisions in a tertiary institution in Hong Kong.Design/methodology/approachSelf-Assessment of All-Round Development (SAARD) questionnaires were distributed to students who took the two-year sub-degree programmes offered by the College of Professional and Continuing Education, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University in 2010 and 2015 on a self-administered basis. A total of 4,424 students have returned the questionnaires. Data were analyzed with t-test to compare between the two cohorts.FindingsWhen comparing Cohort 2015 with Cohort 2010, significantly higher scores were observed on five areas such as global outlook and healthy lifestyle (p<0.05). Significantly lower scores were observed on the other five areas such as problem solving, critical thinking and leadership (p<0.05). Students from all divisions unanimously showed higher perceived rating on social and national responsibility but lower perceived rating on leadership (p<0.05).Originality/ValueThe elimination of one public examination, the newly included components such as Other Learning Experiences (OLE) and the compulsory Liberal Studies were believed to contribute partially to the diverse responses of the two cohorts. The dramatic change of the curriculum has not changed the examination culture in Hong Kong which may hinder the development of generic skills among students.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to measure the combined influence that soft skills and Graduate Point Average (GPA) achievements have on the employability of higher education (HE) graduates, and the possible mitigating effects that score attainments have on some ex ante issues, like the gender asymmetries existing in labour market, or the great difference between some knowledge fields, regarding their unemployment rates. Design/methodology/approach The methodology used is a probit model, performed on a sample of 1,054 HE graduates, coming from a middle-sized European university. Findings The results show: a clear positive influence of the GPA on job finding odds; that some generic competencies improve this probabilities but another ones act as penalties; and that GPA and systemic competencies enhancement initiatives (at an individual level or at HE policy institutions level) could act as attenuators for the gender inequality or for the low recruitment perspectives existing on some knowledge fields like humanities or social sciences. Originality/value A wide scientific literature can be currently found on generic competencies and their influence on the employability odds, but the results regarding GPA attainments are still too heterogeneous and scarcely explored. On the other hand, there’s a non-solved controversy in the literature about the influence of the GPA results on the odds that a HE graduate has to obtain a job: do GPA signal correctly the best candidates? Do current employers prefer competencies scores over GPA attainments? This paper will contribute to clarify these questions.
