The article intends to present reflections directed towards mobilizing the incorporation of informational skills associated to digital formats in different educational and training for work scenarios, because these are crucial in the development of youth employability. The article introduces three grounding reflections: the changes in the contemporary world of work and the challenges it brings to youngsters, the need to deepen into the development of the relationship between informational skills, education, and employability; and the importance of promoting the Corporate-University alliance, since it will enable the creation of appropriate action pathways in order to promote informational skills and face the highly relevant problem of youth unemployment in society.
