Therefore, the education system faces a new kind of challenge, as graduates are reported to need transversal skills, which are unlikely to be learned through traditional classroom teaching. The overall aim of this article is to examine the needs for these skills and their acquisition by higher education teachers to cope with the evolving European labour market of the 2020s. The article envisions the importance of soft skills in the teaching profession. The empirical part consists of a comparative study with Italian and Portuguese teachers, highlighting the status of a set of crucial soft skills (assertiveness, networking skills, teamwork, sensitivity, socialization, action-orientation, ability to work under pressure and social desirability). 2023-03-22T13:17:12Z 2023-03-22T13:17:12Z 2022-08 info:eu-repo/semantics/article http://hdl.handle.net/10259/7585 10.3390/ijerph191710699 1660-4601 eng International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health. 2022, V. 19, n. 17, 10699 https://doi.org/10.3390/ijerph191710699 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/Erasmus+/2017-1-ES01-KA203-038589/EU/Core Skills for 21st Century Professionals/CoSki21/ http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Atribución 4.0 Internacional MDPI
