Beschreibung des Programms

Career guidance and intermediation is a professional activity that in recent years has experienced a great boom, as a consequence of the commitment that is made for career guidance in active employment policies, both in the European Union and in Spain. Unlike other measures in the labor field, the implementation of these requires personal and specialized attention to the users of these services. For this reason, public administrations and entities that act in the field of career guidance have resorted to hiring professionals and technicians, preferably university students. However, in most of the cases, it is only required to be in possession of a university degree, which is clearly insufficient since in none of them are the necessary competences acquired to be able to develop the profession with guarantees. This master's degree responds to this need.

The Master of Orientation and Job Intermediation is a pioneer in Spain, being only offered in a couple of universities so far. This is official, in addition to being interuniversity, since the two public universities in the Region of Murcia participate in it. The title is offered by the Faculty of Business of the Polytechnic University of Cartagena and by the Faculty of Labor Sciences of the Universidad de Murcia , although the teaching activities will be carried out in the facilities of the second on the Espinardo University Campus.

The Master consists of 60 ECTS credits. Its profile is designed for people who work or wish to work in the field of job counseling and job mediation in a broad sense. The study plan is verified by the National Agency for Quality Assessment and Accreditation and is awaiting final approval by the Interuniversity Council of the Region of Murcia.

Master's file

Justification

The Orientation and Labor Intermediation acquires an increasing importance in our country in recent years due to the new orientations of active employment policies that, through them, aim to expand the possibilities of employability and establish systems capable of responding to the different situations that they arise throughout the entire working life of people.

However, it lacks an adequate academic framework. Professionals who access this work do so from different training areas and much of their professional performance is carried out autonomously, following the dictates of their own skills and knowledge. Thus, some academic disciplines have borrowed content that has been useful for the work of job counselors and intermediaries. The interdisciplinary nature of job counseling and intermediation is clearly observed as the contribution of disciplines such as Economics, Sociology, Law, Psychology or Pedagogy or Psychopedagogy, among others, is necessary for the correct performance of this work.

This lack of definition extends to the professional consideration of the counselor. In Spain, this varies between the different Autonomous Communities that in recent years have developed very heterogeneous regulations regarding working conditions. Under the same denomination of counselor, figures with very different functions and competencies can be included.

With the aim of meeting the training needs of the counselor and job intermediary in their different academic disciplines and so that they can carry out their work efficiently, due to the great report of their work in the economic and social field of the country, the Master of Orientation is born and Labor Intermediation.

For this, the training in the classroom and outside the classroom taught in the Master includes the participation of relevant and active professionals and researchers in the sector, allowing students to acquire first-hand knowledge and professional attitudes that are difficult to transfer in any other way. The use of own case studies by teachers allows introducing the student to real decision-making and observing how experienced professionals face these types of issues that are so relevant to their daily work.

Its design and development include the departments of Applied Economics, Sociology and Social Policy, Psychiatry and Social Psychology, Labor and Social Security Law, Financial Economics and Accounting, Political and Administration Sciences, Research methods and diagnosis in Education. In addition, we have the collaboration of professionals of recognized prestige in this field, both in the private and public sectors. The master has pre-agreements and soon agreements will be signed with the Employment and Training Service of the Region of Murcia (SEFCARM), the Guidance Association of the Region of Murcia, the Association of Development and Employment Agents of the Region of Murcia , the Local Development Agency of Cartagena, Local Initiatives, SL and the Association of University Students and Technicians of Local, Rural and Employment Promotion, among others.

goals

The general objective of the Master is to train professionals and researchers specialized in the field of job counseling and intermediation.
