Looking to the future in times of pandemic: Contributions for the construction of the professional technical profile

Abstract

This work describes a pedagogical proposal focusing on the needs of the student in the last year of the chemical technician specialty, in regards to possible academic and professional career paths after graduation. We propose a series of virtual conversations in which, through interaction with professionals from different areas of expertise, links are established that will aid the student with future career choices. We found that this methodology also strengthened the bonds between teachers and students, improved interview skills, and increased interest in the possibility of pursuing further education.
