Online Open Talk: 'What ICT Skills Do Graduate Recruiters Seek Out the Most?'

To what extent are ICT skills acquired at university recognised by employers in the short run? In this seminar, participants will compare the career opportunities of women and men in four European countries (Austria, Czechia, Germany, Norway) based on the skills they acquired at university. The study conducted by Dr Jake Murdoch (Institute for Research in the Sociology and Economics of Education, University of Bourgogne, France) relies on the discussion of education and employment opportunities of young people in the information society from the perspective of gender disparities.
