Nowadays, the labor market is more demanding and dynamic, therefore social-emotional skills become a key factor for the employability of university graduates. In that sense, this research had as population of analysis the graduates from 2003 to 2016 of the professional careers of Administration and Systems and Computer of the Continental University. According to the findings, the importance of the competencies of self-awareness, self-management, awareness of others, social skills and responsible decision-making is evident, skills that are part of the methodology of Socio-Emotional Learning (SEL). The qualitative method was used, with a non-experimental design of the descriptive transversal type, applying the Delphi survey and prospective method as a data collection technique. As a result of the research, it is observed that the most valued and important competence for employers is Responsible Decision-Making for both careers, with 41% in Administration and 47% in Systems and Computer Engineering. In the case of the Systems and Computer Engineering career, it coincides with the ability that graduates of this degree have developed during their university career, while graduates of the Administration degree have more developed Social Skills by 39.3%.
