| Summary: | The transformations of work are increasingly introducing new scenarios at a global level. In fact, the disruptive importance of innovation in all workplace contexts anticipates the challenge of skills and capabilities for the work of the future. In this sense, education has a crucial role in supporting the development of students and future workers.

This theoretical standpoint represents the base for the development of employability in higher education and its future challenges of innovation, development, and social inclusion |
