Impacto de la educación superior en la ocupación de las mujeres egresadas de la seccional de El Carmen de Viboral de la Universidad de Antioquia

Abstract

RESUMEN: El presente escrito presenta los resultados de un estudio que analizó el impacto del ingreso a la educación superior en la vida laboral de las mujeres que estudiaron en la seccional de El Carmen de Viboral de la Universidad de Antioquia (Colombia). Para tal fin, se llevó a cabo una metodología integrada de datos (cuantitativo-cualitativo), a partir de la ejecución de técnicas como la encuestas y la entrevistas semiestructurada, la cual permitió obtener información acerca de la experiencia de las mujeres antes, durante y después de su paso por la educación universitaria. Las principales conclusiones dieron a conocer que la formación en la universidad significó transformaciones importantes en la vida de las egresadas, dado que, debido a sus motivaciones y a sus esfuerzos han logrado vivir trayectorias diferentes a las de las mujeres de sus círculos cercanos en términos educativos y laborales; y, al ejercer como profesionales, han hallado complacencia con el hecho de saber que sus quehaceres los realizan con gusto y que aportan no solo al cumplimiento de sus metas o proyectos personales; sino al acompañamiento, el progreso y el beneficio de sus familias.
