Soft skills e curriculum universitario : un caso applicato per i laureati di ingegneria

The complexity of the work has forced universities to think of curricular activities and curricula that can make graduates profitable (Andrews, Highson, 2008) also by designing orientation paths to increase professional spendability (Atkins, 1999). In this scenario, the role of cross-competency valorization is crucial for successful business (McKinsey, 2014; WEF, 2016). The contribution is focused on the cross-sectorial competence analysis of engineers' work (Berdrow, Evers, 2010), involving 314 graduates who participated in the research. The research involved a university orientation center aimed at encouraging the graduates to enter the job, favoring the critical reflection of the participants in relation to their professional spendiness in relation to the profile of cross-competences.
