The Competence of Learning to Learn–An Indicator of Employability in the Labor Market

This paper presents an analysis of the need to correlate the professional competences offered by the university studies programs in relation to the employability requirements of the graduates on the labor market. The study analyzes the concepts of competence versus transversal competences versus new competences required on the labor market; the applied part of the study focuses on the analysis of the students' perceptions from 4 university specializations (education sciences, psychology, sociology, communication sciences) on the competence of learning to learn from the perspective of fulfilling its performance descriptors during university studies. The conclusion of the study reflects the fulfillment of cognitive indicators (the ability to carry out various projects, initiative, entrepreneurship, digital culture), but the failure to fulfill the indicators of the social-emotional and motivational sphere.
