breakfast 1

During the activity, information on the FIULS 2030 Project and the Graduate Monitoring Office was provided.

Around 35 graduates from the Mining Execution Engineering and Civil Mining Engineering careers participated in this meeting, in addition to academics and directors of said undergraduate programs.

In this regard, one of the graduates, Esteban Escobar, commented that “it is super good that graduates get together to network because in the end one works in different places and there is not that union and that relationship between different professionals in the area. “This meeting is good because everyone is contributing their experience.”

breakfast 2For her part, the graduate Gabriela Castillo highlighted: “the meeting was very good because the main objective is to strengthen ties, and that is what we did with several colleagues, with several graduates who are already in the industry and can share experiences that They will be able to serve when we start working, or those who are starting their work period, so I found it super interesting.”

The activity, along with generating ties and allowing the sharing of experiences, aimed to publicize information about the Graduate Monitoring Office and the FIULS 2030 Project.

In this regard, Rodrigo Davanzo, in charge of the Graduate Monitoring Office, indicated that “the OSE is a university entity that links with the media responsible for providing information regarding employability and career progression of graduates of the University of La Serena, which which transforms it into a bridge between the job placement needs of graduates and the requirements of the labor market. Within our areas of action, we find the generation of complementary actions to the work of the academic units for the permanent strengthening of skills of students with a graduation profile, such as, for example, individual Coaching Sessions, teamwork workshops and comprehensive preparation, in order to promote job insertion and access to employability for graduates.”

On the other hand, FIULS 2030 is the project of a new Engineering for 2030, led by the Faculty of Engineering of the University of La Serena. It seeks to transform the Faculty into a national and international reference in R&D&I&E, with emphasis on mining, energy and sustainability, involving different actors and sectors of society, to contribute to the formation of world-class human capital. It is established as an educational, innovative and entrepreneurial ecosystem that uses technology as a vehicle to produce an impact in the national and international market.
