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.
