The current labour market imposes more flexibility, personal initiative and the development of new skills on workers. Educational institutions need to handle the complex process of transition from the academic world to the professional one, by offering new proposals and actions aimed to guarantee academic success and employability. The objectives of this paper are different: to study the transition systems and processes implemented to prepare and improve career development, to study the match between supply and demand for work, to explain the way in which young people and companies can meet, to focus on the role played by employability in transition processes, and to reflect on the importance of starting new initiatives aimed at promoting psychological and social well-being.
