Abstract: Education and training in general are enabling Europe to become a knowledge-based society, particular by improving employability. The need for appropriate trainings and skills has been underlined in the majority of EU employment policies, as only those with appropriate knowledge and skills will have access to future prospects in the labour market. The development of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) has been an important instrument in the EU integration process and employability has been one of its main goals from its very beginning. Higher education institutions play a crucial role in providing high level professional competences, enabling graduates to constantly adapt to changing labour conditions.
