Esco €“ A Tool To Connect Education With Employment

The European Commission's interest in connecting education with the labor market has materialized through the development of a tool that uses terminology common to both areas. Thus, the European Skills / Competences, Qualifications and Occupations (ESCO) has been developed to help transparency and the recognition of competencies and qualifications. At the same time, the aim is to make the labor market more integrated and efficient. Many times, high school graduates, when they choose to continue their studies at a higher level, do not know what skills and competencies they will acquire after graduating from university specialization. For this reason, the article aims to describe European Skills / Competences, Qualifications and Occupations. Also, taking into account this European classification, as well as the importance that the population with higher education may have on a community, an analysis is made of the current situation of the population with tertiary education level in the member countries of the European Union. The areas in which students are trained can influence the development of new jobs. The article examines, at European level, the areas of education for which tertiary education graduates have been trained.
