Pathways to green careers: using MICMAC analysis to address gender barriers in STEM-related TVET education in Colombia
Women’s participation in Green-STEM (Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics) careers remains low. This study examined how to remove gender barriers in Environmental-STEM technical and vocational training programs, aiming to expand opportunities for women in the green economy. SENA, Colombia’s public TVET institution, served as the case study. Gender Transformative and Participatory Action Research approaches, along with the MICMAC method, were used to identify, analyze, and address key barriers. Surveys, interviews and focus groups provided qualitative and quantitative data. The MICMAC analysis revealed the relationships among barriers and their interdependencies, identifying nine core barriers. To address these, women-led smart strategies were implemented through learning cycles, supported by small- and full-scale green pilots focused on sustainable resource utilization, production patterns, and circular economy knowledge transfer. As a result, female apprentices strengthened their sustainability-focused skills and confidence, while SENA enhanced its capacity to foster more inclusive Green-STEM vocational pathways. This study expands existing knowledge by deepening the understanding of gender barriers in vocational STEM careers related to sustainability and environmental management in Latin America, where research remains Limited. It offers actionable recommendations on leveraging education to drive progress toward SDGs 4, 5, 12, and 13.

A career as an operating and stationary engineer
\"We may not always notice them, but operating and stationary engineers help keep the world running smoothly. This practical resource explains the importance of operating and stationary engineers and provides descriptions for several jobs within each field, including surveyor, heavy equipment operator, boiler operator, HVACR engineer, and building manager. Readers will learn the educational requirements and job training that are necessary to obtain these jobs, as well as steps they can take right now to get them on the right path. Job outlook and information about trade unions and other resources are also provided.\"--Provided by publisher.

Personalized Course Recommendations Leveraging Machine and Transfer Learning Toward Improved Student Outcomes
University advising at matriculation must operate under strict information constraints, typically without any post-enrolment interaction history.We present a unified, leakage-free pipeline for predicting early dropout risk and generating cold-start programme recommendations from pre-enrolment signals alone, with an optional early-warning variant incorporating first-term academic aggregates. The approach instantiates lightweight multimodal architectures: tabular RNNs, DistilBERT encoders for compact profile sentences, and a cross-attention fusion module evaluated end-to-end on a public benchmark (UCI id 697; n = 3630 students across 17 programmes). For dropout, fusing text with numerics yields the strongest thresholded performance (Hybrid RNN–DistilBERT: f1-score ≈ 0.9161, MCC ≈ 0.7750, and simple ensembling modestly improves threshold-free discrimination (Area Under Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve (AUROC) up to ≈0.9488). A text-only branch markedly underperforms, indicating that numeric demographics and early curricular aggregates carry the dominant signal at this horizon. For programme recommendation, pre-enrolment demographics alone support actionable rankings (Demographic Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP): Normalized Discounted Cumulative Gain @ 10 (NDCG@10) ≈ 0.5793, Top-10 ≈ 0.9380, exceeding a popularity prior by 25–27 percentage points in NDCG@10); adding text offers marginal gains in hit rate but not in NDCG on this cohort. Methodologically, we enforce leakage guards, deterministic preprocessing, stratified splits, and comprehensive metrics, enabling reproducibility on non-proprietary data. Practically, the pipeline supports orientation-time triage (high-recall early-warning) and shortlist generation for programme selection. The results position matriculation-time advising as a joint prediction–recommendation problem solvable with carefully engineered pre-enrolment views and lightweight multimodal models, without reliance on historical interactions.
