Abstract

The emergence of technology and therefore the consequent technological changes that have occurred in recent decades have motivated the restructuring of the modes of relations in all senses with a new industrial revolution in a world in transformation. The work addresses the issue of the future of work and the future of the certification of trades within the framework of an investigation that analyzes the case of the CARICET Network, whose acronym stands for "Advisory Committee of Interregional Representatives of Certification of Technical Specialties" of the Program of certification of technical specialties (trades) from the National Technological University (UTN) in the period 2009-2019 within the Argentine industrial sector, within the framework of a multi-sector articulation. Different authors are cited that shed light on the future of work in its different aspects and allow us to analyze the aforementioned device together with its protagonists, the social actors of said program, in each of the Regional Faculties of the UTN. In this sense, the aim is to determine the way in which the social dialogue of multisectoral actors (workers, the university, companies, and the state) manages to articulate and face the technological changes of the work of the future that may impact the certification system of current technical specialties, where each Regional Faculty of the Network is located, and manages to satisfy the territorial and individual needs of the different actors, highlighting the workers and their productive knowledge, without which said device would not exist.
