Abstract
the process of harmonization of different educational systems in the European union implies a conceptual reorganization of education where it is acknowledged, among other questions, the importance of skills for the curriculum development of the learner, and therefore, for an improvement in their employability. However, talking of skills means entering an opaque world where terms such as knowledge, personal features, skills, endowment, abilities, etc merge. some of these phenomena constitute the basis of the traditional intelligence, while others support the skills of learners gifted with emotional intelligence. this paper highlights firstly the main changes in the labour market in the last few years; secondly, it analyses the intelligence–skills conflict as axis for employability, and finally, exposes the main conclusions of a recent study that evidences the importance of emotional skills in the employability of recent university graduates.
