Abstract

The matching between workers' skills and job requirements is a topic of high concern for policymakers, potential workers and enterprises. Jobs demands is more and more technological and new types of job roles continue to emerge. To face affectively this increasing demands of specific competences, social and personal competencies must be accompanied by specific technical knowledge that graduate institutes must produce but often its production is below the desired or overproduced in sectors in which labour demand has declined.This paper aims at analysing the employment and work of graduates from institutions of higher education in European countries providing a first overview to the education-occupation link and then analysing graduate employment and work and then we focus on some EU countries in order to study in depth the functioning the policies used to foster school to work transition.
