Abstract
This paper shows the research conducted on the employment situation and entrepreneurship projection of students and alumni of STEM careers in a private university with two modes of study (face-to-face and distance) in Ecuador. In order to carry out the research, qualitative and quantitative exploration and approximation techniques were applied to obtain comparable and differentiable data between genders. The results show that there are some significant differences between the tendency of the group of STEM men and women and only women in the work situation in which they find themselves, evidencing a need for work that forces them to develop in areas little or not at all related to their training, data that are complemented with the motivations, limitations and willingness to undertake of students in STEM careers.
