21st century skills are multidimensional and highly demanding, especially in highest academic level.
Academic education is facing new challenges and expectations which are set e.g. by working life and
individuals in academic contexts. Universities are trying to balance between new demands and older
academic traditions.
Individuals in highest academic contexts are facing global change and requirements in their everyday
life. Academic education should enable participation in working life and give good generic and field
specialized skills. The highest academic education and working life do not share the same
understanding of expertise skills.
In my paper I will discuss the highest academic education through individual experiences. How
academic students evaluate their generic and specialized skills and their employability? How different
working life careers are constructed? What skills can be constructed in academic contexts and what
other skills are needed in 21st century?
