21st century skills: from the classroom to the workplace

Abstract

EN: The lifestyle in the 21st century makes young generation be prepared for the future career almost from childhood. Higher education is a final bridge to the workplace where students can apply the skills acquired. Although there are various classifications of the 21st century skills [1], it is necessary to mention that skills are based on knowledge and information obtained in any field studies. Thus, any learning process (whether it is English, Engineering or Architecture, for example) is aimed to develop those essential skills in the classroom that can be further applied in a real professional life.
