Ante la nueva Revolución 4.0, donde la concepción de la empleabilidad de los estudiantes va más allá de la adquisición de un empleo en particular, este trabajo profundiza en la valoración del universitario acerca del desarrollo de competencias para la empleabilidad que se produce durante su formación universitaria. Además, incluye una validación de constructo de la escala de competencias presentada mediante el AFC y se analizan posibles diferencias en función de las tres universidades españolas analizadas: Universidad de Murcia, Universidad de Granada y Universidade da Coruña. Con este objetivo, participan 830 estudiantes de último curso de Grado de la Facultad de Educación de dichas universidades mediante la cumplimentación del Cuestionario de Orientación e Inserción Laboral (COIL). Para el análisis de los datos se recurre a la estadística descriptiva e inferencial a través del programa estadístico SPSS v23 y al programa AMOS para realizar el Modelo de Ecuaciones Estructurales. Los resultados muestran unos índices de bondad de ajuste óptimos, que garantizan la adecuación del mismo a los datos empíricos; además, se comprueba que existe una tendencia común entre los estudiantes de la facultad de educación, la relativa al desarrollo medio-bajo de competencias para la empleabilidad, con diferencias significativas entre universidades. A partir de estos resultados, es preciso buscar sinergias de comunicación y cooperación entre el contexto productivo, los agentes sociales y la universidad, y hacerlo tanto local como nacionalmente, para encontrar el equilibrio y transferencia que exige el EEES en la nueva Revolución 4.0. In the face of the fourth industrial revolution, where the conception of the employability of students goes beyond the acquisition of a particular job, this research deepens the assessment of the university student about the development of skills for employability that occurs during their university education. In addition, it includes a construct validation of the competencies scale presented by the CFA and possible differences are analyzed according to the three Spanish universities analyzed: University of Murcia, University of Granada and University of A Coruña. With this objective, 830 final year students in the faculty of education of theseuniversities participated by completing the Cuestionario de Orientación e Inserción Laboral (COIL). For the analysis of the data, descriptive and inferential statistics were used through the statistical program SPSS v23 and the AMOS program to carry out the Structural Equation Model. The results show optimal model fit indexes, which guarantee the suitability of this model with the empirical data. In addition, it is verified that there exists a common tendency among all students of the faculty of education relative to the medium-low development of competencies for employability, but with significant competency differences varying amongeach university. Based on these results, it is necessary to seek synergies of communication and cooperation among the job markets, the social agents, and the university, and to do it both locally and nationally in order to find the balance and transfer required by the EHEA in the fourth industrial revolution.

We are at the beginning of the fourth industrial revolution. The authors understand that university education should embrace the keys to this scenario and do so immediately. Considering this fact, new university teaching should be supported by technological immersion, but also by a culture of proactivity and training in values. The third of these pillars achieves an unimaginable relevance in regards to this emerging industrial revolution, which aims to become the revolution of values. Within this context, the university must move into the practice of ethical values and offer training based on soft skills. Moreover, there is a path that links ethics with soft skills based on the synergy between the two. From this idea, the central objectives of this work are to propose a university model for educational innovation based on values that also includes the tools for its implementation. The chapter ends with a practical case for implementing the model at the fablab that the University of Extremadura has available for its students majoring in Information Technology Engineering.

The aim of this study is to examine the career stress levels of university students in different faculties according to age, gender, faculty, class and financial status variables. The research was conducted using a quantitative research design. The sample of this study consisted of 1,189 university students from Kastamonu University Education Faculty, School of Physical Education and Sports, Faculty of Arts and Faculty of Engineering and Architecture. Career Stress Scale consisting of 20 items and three sub-dimensions was used. Data were normally distributed and parametric analysis was used. According to the findings of this study, it was determined that the average score of the participants was 2.43 from the total score of the career stress scale. In this context, it was found that the career stress levels of the participants were moderate at the lower limit. According to the average scores of the participants, the lowest subscale was found to be an external conflict with 2.13 average and the highest subscale was found to be job anxiety with an average score of 2.82. A significant difference was found almost between all different groups in different ways (p > 0.05). As a result, it was found that the career stress levels of the university students participating in the research were moderate, as well as differences according to variables such as gender, class, age, faculty and income status. Among these differences, the most striking ones appear to be the variables of age and income. In this context, it was determined that university students who have lower age and lower-income status level have higher career stress level than age and income status variables.
