En este episodio hablamos del problema de la empleabilidad para doctores (PhD), una problemática que se ha puesto de manifiesto en muchos países y que existe incluso en aquellos donde pensamos que ser doctor aumenta tu empleabilidad. Jennifer Polk y Maren Wood (Canadá), Isaiah Hankel (EE.UU.), Kay Guccione y Chris Humphrey (Reino Unido), Tina Persson (Suecia), son solo algunos ejemplos de profesionales de la orientación que destacan la dificultad que tienen a nivel internacional los PhD para encontrar su futuro más allá de la academia. Existen pocas tipologías de trabajo que requieran un PhD. Pero eso no significa que un PhD no pueda llegar más lejos profesionalmente si entiende dónde y cómo puede aplicar todas sus competencias.Además, entrevistamos a Sergio Navarro, CEO y fundador de Talentum, una empresa dedicada al diseño, desarrollo e implantación de sistemas informáticos utilizando decisiones basados en técnicas estadísticas cuantitativas y de machine learning (aprendizaje automático). En la entrevista, Sergio nos da su punto de vista sobre la situación de la empleabilidad de los doctores más allá del mundo académico y nos cuenta su propia experiencia de transición profesional.Si tienes algún comentario sobre este episodio o ideas para futuros programas, no dudes en escribirnos a “info@carrerascientificasalternativas.com” o nuestras redes sociales (Facebook, Twitter, Telegram, LinkedIn y Youtube).
