RT Conference Proceedings T1 Generic competences for the IT knowledge workers: a study from the field. A1 Colomo Palacios, Ricardo A1 Cabezas-Isla, Fernando A1 García Crespo, Ángel A1 Soto-Acosta, Pedro AB This paper aims to identify generic competency levels relevant to a particular kind of knowledge workers: software engineers. Based on previous works, and in particular in the description of a professional career, authors review of the literature related to the characterization of the labor force in the Software Engineering (SE) domain. Subsequently, using a quantitative analysis based on investigative surveys administered to a number of representative professionals, authors provide with a generic competency ladder adapted to the given career description.
