The notion of employability skills has been given great importance because of the changing nature of the current job market. It is the result of globalization and the constant technological development. Employability skills are essential skills that are now highly crucial in the growth of learners in general and university students in particular. In addition to subject-bound specific skills, previous studies assert that students of the twenty first century are encouraged and expected to exhibit a number of professionally oriented skills that are in demand with respect to the outside and professional world. The 21st century job market characterized by fierce competition requires not only graduates with higher education degrees but also graduates who are well equipped with specific skills and personal attributes. In the present study, we intend to bring to light the perception of university students about employability skills in Morocco. More particularly, students in open access institutions. Data is gathered through interviews, which are the instruments used for data collection. The findings of the study present practical implications for consideration by both educationalists and policy makers. The study sheds light on the learners as a major force in the process of education, who are sometimes absent from discussions that directly influence their future.
