MENDEZ REBOLLEDO, Teresita de Jesús; SURINACH, Jordi  y  OJEDA RAMIREZ, Mario Miguel. The labour impact of skills in graduate school: the case of graduates of Universidad Veracruzana in Mexico. CPU-e. Rev. Investig. Educ [online]. 2018, n.27, pp.116-144.  Epub 07-Sep-2020. ISSN 1870-5308.  https://doi.org/10.25009/cpue.v0i27.2560.

We present an analysis of those generic competences declared to have by graduates of graduate school: (1) before starting graduate school, (2) those obtained during graduate school and (3) those required by their work. We conduct statistical tests of hypothesis, and fit regression models, linear and logistic. We found that the competences that are most acquired and are the most applied are professionalization, skills of analytical thinking, leadership and oral communication. We conclude that there are similarities between the levels at which the graduates achieve the competences with their application in the field in which they work. We show that there are highly specialized competences obtained in graduated school (skills communication, leadership and research), which determine the relevance and significance of a graduate school system in order to support innovation in economic and social development.
