Abstract
This study analysed two internationally recognised measurements of professional skills: the Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC) and the Digital Competence Framework for Citizens (DigComp 2.2). This analysis aimed to establish a baseline and reference point for a comprehensive understanding of these two scales with the objective of exploring the most relevant competencies and assessing their potential benefits in fostering a technology-driven environment in higher education institutions in Saudi Arabia. The research yielded significant findings regarding the essential competencies that university students should possess, drawing insights from the two assessments and identifying gaps in existing manuals. The research outcomes include valuable insights and best practices that can empower a new generation of university learners to effectively engage with the requirements of Education 4.0.
