The labor market is increasingly demanding.

Gone is the idea that in order to succeed, it was enough with the theoretical and technical knowledge that university degrees provide us.

Currently,

soft skills are very important and valued

, and without going any further, they are what are needed to face the jobs of the future.

Achieving assertive communication, having leadership skills, offering creative and innovative ideas are qualities that make any person stand out.

To this is added the handling of new technologies and the knowledge of basic notions in terms of programming and systems.

All this gives added value when looking for a job.

In this sense, the University of Morón, together with Coursera, the online platform par excellence, and CognosOnline, a leader in digital transformation for education, launched

Training Courses in Professional Skills

.

For this,

four of the axes most required by recruiters when hiring professionals were selected.

In different modules, work will be done to incorporate soft skills related to communication, leadership and creativity, technology and project management.

Each course is certified and taught by top-level universities and companies.

It is important to note that these

courses are free for all students but, at the same time,

they are also offered

outside the university for a fee.

These will allow you to obtain a joint certification validated by the best universities and companies in the world, which will be in charge of the course.

The origin

After the tour carried out two years ago by the authorities of the University of Morón through Latin America and the United States, with the aim of observing how it was being taught in the world, this initiative to create training paths arose.

Pablo Navarro, Secretary General of the University, highlighted that these study houses were focusing on employability.

This is how the idea of ​​incorporating the skills that companies were demanding into traditional training began to take hold.

"We discovered that we could generate a project so that students during their training could incorporate these routes" highlighted Pablo Navarro. Consequently, progress was made in the alliance with Coursera, a virtual education platform that offers its services to different universities around the world and companies The diagnosis of the trip, in which we worked for a year, was the need to explore which skills were most requested by the labor market.Finally, seven of the ten most in demand were chosen, which are the ones that are reflected in the courses starting in 2023.

Pablo Navarro, General Secretary of the University of Morón.

“The reality is that companies demand a human resource that is not so specific in the discipline.

What they are looking for is that you also have other skills.

For example, in technology.

All professionals should have at least an initial level of programming”, remarked Navarro.

In this way, taking what was observed abroad, they decided to design the

four routes that are distributed throughout the race on a semester basis.

These are Effective Communication;

Leadership, Emotional Intelligence, Teamwork and Creativity;

Innovative Technologies, Artificial Intelligence and Data Science;

Project Management and Agile Methodologies.

Each of them is made up of three courses that, upon completion, the student must take a face-to-face workshop at the University of Morón.

In this way, the route will be validated and it will be incorporated as a supplement to the ticket. 

In addition,

for each approved course, students will obtain a credential with the certification of the University or Company that dictates it.

In this sense, those who accompany these programs are Google, IBM, Instituto Tecnológico de Monterrey (Mexico), University of Michigan (United States), University of Illinois (United States), Autonomous University of Barcelona (Spain), Universidad de los Andes ( Colombia), DeepLearning.AI, ORT University (Uruguay), University of Edinburgh (Scotland) and Case Western Reserve University (Cleveland, United States).

from wherever you are

The University of Morón has been providing innovative solutions for several years.

Without going any further, in 2019, a year before the COVID19 pandemic, it incorporated one of the best LMS platforms in the world such as Blackboard to support face-to-face classes.

Which allowed that in 2020, when they had to close their doors, this campus was already up and running.

From there, he delved into that path and the return to school was mixed.

Without a doubt,

technology is here to stay and there are currently 30 races that can be done completely virtually.

However, the rest that are face-to-face are dictated in a mixed way.

The General Secretary emphasized: “The idea is to improve the employability performance of students.

In recent years, companies began to generate academic areas, there was an increase in investment in training for human resources, by 70 percent.

We seek to give an answer to companies.

We know that 85 percent of the success of a project depends on soft skills.

That is the path to travel in all education.

The issue of quality standards for undergraduate courses has been resolved.

We have another great dimension left, which was not incorporated into the study plans.

We are convinced that it is a response to having listened to the demand and noticing what we were missing”.

Registration for the University of Morón

is still open for all those who want to start their career in March

.

You can opt for the headquarters of CABA (Lima 221) or the headquarters of Morón (Gral. Machado 854).

In addition,

you can study from anywhere in the country or Latin America

thanks to the incorporation of new careers.
