Information Professionals’ Knowledge to Satisfy Labor Market Demands
Journal Title: Revista CEA - Year 2022, Vol 8, Issue 17
Abstract
Continuous changes in Information Science (IS) and a labor market with an increasing use of technological knowledge and skills mean that college IS graduates should continuously explore the demands of their labor market. This paper aims to examine the opinion of employers in Monterrey, Mexico, about the type of knowledge that such labor market demands and the professional practice of graduates of bachelor’s programs in IS. This exploratory, descriptive study used opinion polls and interviews to investigate their ideas regarding IS graduates’ recruitment, application of competences, performance, and essential knowledge and topics. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics functions and the method of structural analysis supported by MicMac software. The results are in agreement with those of previous studies in that IS graduates should become generators of solutions in their organizations and apply digital technologies intensively. It is concluded that capabilities for professional development, creativity, and pro-activity are the essential characteristics that employers demand in information professionals.
