New subject to improve the educational system: Through a communication channel betwen educational institution-company

摘要

At the time students' finish their academic educational level within a current educational system, a big gap appears to exist between the acquired knowledge and the needed knowledge to enter the job world. This situation provokes certain disconcert about the necessity for adaptation period to be properly integrated in the working environment. For this reason, the inclusion of a new subject into the educational system is proposed serving as a nexus and a channel between the academic institution and the company. This subject focuses on the company employees' educational level required to be hired and that of the students needed to enter the working field. Thus, based on the specific job characteristics, the educational institutions as well as companies collaborate to establish a plan to follow. A company actually proposes the basic milestones a student must have to become a worker with the required skills. In this way, we, as university teachers, support students who, at the end of their academic educational stage have the needed knowledge, skills and competencies to begin their working life without the problems related to ignorance about the work to do.
