[EN] The objective of this study is to identify the competencies required to
achieve success in the transition from higher education to the labour
market based on the perceptions of employers. This paper analyses the
assessments made by a group of engineering company employers. An
item-battery of 20 competencies was grouped into 3 dimensions by
using factor analysis. Subsequently, respondents scores were also
clustered into three groups and characterised through contingency
tables. The competencies demanded by employers were grouped into
business and finance, problem-solving and strategic planning. Significant
differences were found between responses from employers working in
medium and small companies, who placed more importance on
competencies related to problem-solving and strategic planning, and
employers in big companies, who were more concerned about the
difficulties of finding well-trained graduates. The findings from this
paper have important implications for research in the areas of higher
education and organisations that usually employ graduate engineers.
