Elegir el futuro profesional nunca ha sido tarea facil para los jovenes bachilleres. Si a esto le anadimos la inestabilidad del mercado laboral y el cambio de modelo productivo generado por el impacto de las TIC y la globalizacion, la decision es mucho mas compleja. Lo cierto es que, dentro de unos anos, cuando los actuales jovenes bachilleres inicien su trayectoria laboral en una sociedad tecnologicamente mas avanzada, tendran que elegir profesiones que aun no existen. En parte, esas nuevas profesiones se formaran de la convergencia de importantes areas de especializacion en ciencias y tecnologia como la microinformatica, la biotecnologia y la fisica cuantica, ademas del resultado de la transformacion digital que esta operando transversalmente en otros muchos sectores de actividad como el de la educacion, la salud, el transporte, la logistica o el financiero. Este articulo forma parte del estudio empirico de mi tesis doctoral sobre el deficit de talento femenino en las ingenierias tecnologicas. En este texto trato de explicar la relacion entre la digitalizacion de la economia, el empleo y la educacion con la eleccion de estudios universitarios y el papel que estan haciendo la Union Europea, el Gobierno de Espana y otros organismos y asociaciones para motivar a las mujeres a estudiar ingenierias tecnologicas o trabajar en el sector TIC. Choosing the right career has never been an easy task for young high school graduates. If we add to this doubt the instability of the labour market, the productive model changed by the impact of the ITC and globalization, the final decision must be more complex. The truth is that, in a short time, when current students start working in a digital society, they will have to choose careers that do not exist yet. In part, the new careers will be formed by the convergence of three important specialization areas: microcomputation, biotechnology and quantum physics, as well as the result of the digital transformation that is being carried out transversally in many other sectors of activity such as education, health, transportation, logistics, business, etc. This article is an extract from an empirical study which I am developing in my doctoral thesis on the lack of female talent in the ICT engineering. In this text, I try to explain the relationship among the digitalization of the economy, the employment and education, and the selection of university studies and the role that the Spanish Government, the EU and other institutions and academic associations are playing in this area in order to encourage women to study ICT engineering or even to work in the ICT sector.
