description One of the main challenges that current higher education faces is aspiring to a coherent educational formation in a society that is in permanent change. This has direct implications for how a proposal consistent with the demands and needs of the world of work is built and how it innovates as it progresses. Flexibility and contextualization are two fundamental axes when facing the challenge of current higher education. This allows students to present themselves in a dynamic world that is in permanent change. This means that, in turn, the academic offer must, necessarily, diversify, attentive to the rapid changes in the environment. Therefore, offering a wide variety of options gives students a more realistic and achievable possibility of connecting with the world of work. In this sense, it is important to promote the empowerment of students in the face of their professional development within their university educational path.
