| الوصف: | Employers of the 21st century seek candidates who master both «hard» and «soft» skills abilities, because most valued and effective employees in business are frequently those who possess both technical and transversal skills. Changes in generational structure, which lead to high demand for soft skills, such as communication, teamwork, motivation, problem-solving, and trust. The latter become highly valued in the workplace. Employability skills can be defined as the necessary abilities not just to land a job but also to grow inside a company, in order to reach one's full potential and successfully contribute to the strategic goals of that company. The skills that are crucial to employability are not only the hard skills, cognitive and technical, job-specific and discipline-specific abilities, but also the psychosocial and behavioral skills. These transferable skills, such as communicating, problem-solving, flexibility, persistence, resilience, and creativity, are common to almost all complex endeavors and applied across all fields. However, to fill the needs it is essential to set some pedagogical adjustments, including the integration of soft skills development into university curricula through innovative teaching approaches, in order to integrate young graduates into a highly competitive workplace. In this paper, we review the literature related to these two concepts first, the incorporation of soft skills development into university curricula. Second, the impact of these learnings on the young graduates’ employability and career development. Through the present article we are going to answer the main research question: Do innovative teaching soft skills approaches encourage young graduates’ employability and career development? Keywords: Teaching Soft Skills, Psychosocial and Behavioral Competencies, Employability, Career Development, Innovative Teaching Approaches.
