一项基于欧洲雇主的调查显示，雇主更看重：   1.团队精神；2.适应能力； 3.沟通能力；4.语言能力。
        A new Europe-wide survey among employers shows that, when it comes to graduate recruitment, 'soft' skills are just as valued as sector-specific and computer skills. Significant numbers of employers questioned said that the ability to work well in a team (98%), to adapt to new situations (97%), communication skills (96%), and knowledge of foreign languages (67%) were important when recruiting for their companies. Almost 50% of companies with considerable international business identified knowledge of foreign languages as the most important skill for the future.
Understanding better what employers need helps shape European education and employment policies.
    The Eurobarometer survey shows that work experience was deemed a crucial asset by 87% of the recruiters. When asked to choose one action universities should take to improve the employability of their graduates, 39% mentioned sector-specific traineeships as an integral part of a study programme.Despite this, only 12% of companies say they frequently cooperate with universities on curriculum design and study programmes. There is more cooperation, however, where the recruitment of university graduates is concerned. When asked about the best way to cooperate with universities, employers show strong preference for traineeship programmes (51%) followed by direct recruitment from universities.
