Abstract

There is a certain restlessness in some university teachers of the training being promoted through the Higher Education European Space is designed and materialized as oriented to enterprises. This uneasiness is appropriate and an eye should be kept on it, but this text argues against determinist simplicity that often links on paper, formation and labour market. Linear and direct connection and apparently free from any other influence and any other type of intervention that anyway seems to elude students´ capability, those who are future professionals, to incorporate their knowledge to their respective subjectivities and to use them in labour contexts according to a group of contingent variables related to future situations that will happen to them. They dedicate, according to these approaches, to report in an organized way, those groups of competences that certain professionals, adult educators and social educators have identified as the ones to be appropriate and fundamental when elaborating in their labour contexts service institutions and community organizations.
