Training in Sustainability as Essential for Future Employability

Abstract This work studies the need for an education that will develop competences to successfully face the challenges posed by Sustainability and discusses current curricula and how the Competences for Sustainability have been included in them. It has analyzed the inclusion of general and specific competences relating to Sustainability, present in the teacher guides for all subjects of the new degree format at the University of Valencia and other Spanish universities. Among the conclusions, it is noted that as in the rest of the world, Spanish universities have begun to include competences for Sustainability as well as specific content to prepare their students for the construction of a sustainable future. The need for training on Sustainability is extended to all degrees, as recommended by the CRUE in their guidelines. In addition, specific competences are introduced to different degrees to meet the needs for training in jobs linked to the transition to Sustainability in many different areas.
