Abstract: Employability skills identification is becoming a key instrument to match the workforce demand in the current labor market. Which professional and general skills specific to the labor market are formed because of graduating from a certain level of education, are they different from the skills held in the labor supply and the skills needs in the labor market? A marked imbalance in the labor market is due to many inactive population and the inability of employers to find qualified staff and to fill vacancies. For this article the competencies considered essential for the main economic sectors in Romania for optimizing the integration of potential employees in the labor market were listed, the employers emphasizing that it is necessary to increase the current level of employability skills. The triangle of actors responsible for developing the skills needed to obtain and maintain a decent job is composed of the governments, the social partners, and the individuals.
