Abstract: 
The purpose of this study is to provide an overview of the emergence of skills and competences in the economy and the society in the last decades. In addition it attempts to present the special efforts of theorists and policy-makers to investigate and unpack the word “skill” in view of the complexities it is associated with and the impact it has on our professional lives. Finally it refers to the long debated “gap” between the desired and the actual skill level of the workforce and the responsibility of Higher Education to support graduates’ employability by enhancing their professional skills.
