In the era of globalization and technology, society demands young generations of citizens able to work in a kind of environment characterized by complexity and diversity. 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).
在全球化和技术时代，社会要求年轻一代公民能够在以复杂性和多样性为特征的环境中工作。因此，教育系统面临着新的挑战，因为据报道，毕业生需要横向技能，而这些技能不太可能通过传统的课堂教学来学习。本文的总体目标是研究这些技能的需求以及高等教育教师为应对 21 世纪 20 年代不断变化的欧洲劳动力市场而获得这些技能的需求。本文设想了软技能在教学专业中的重要性。实证部分包括对意大利和葡萄牙教师的比较研究，强调了一系列关键软技能（自信、社交技能、团队合作、敏感性、社会化、目标导向、抗压能力和社会期望）的现状。
