SKILLS 4.0: UNVEILING RELATIONS BETWEEN HIGHER EDUCATION AND PROFESSIONAL PROFILE

ABSTRACT The fourth industrial revolution brought skilled labor at social, methodological, emotional, and technical human resources. Considering the relevant workforce volume in Brazil, it is still unknown if these skills are being formed by the academy or by professionals. For that, we related skills 4.0 of literature with those identified in Brazilian human resources through a netnographic study. The results show dissociations between the framework variables. Technical skills are most often cited in professional curricula, while social, personal, and methodological skills are more present in the pedagogical projects of business schools. Findings imply that the complete professional enabled the skills 4.0 is scarce on the Brazilian market. Also, higher education has not kept the pace of digital transformation, evidenced by the low adherence to technology management skills.
