Improving the employability of university graduates has been one of my main objectives since I joined higher education. My first task was to improve the curricula of the courses I taught. Together with my colleagues, we assessed and improved other courses. The accomplishment of all this work was the introduction of new curricula for the training of architects, urban planners and city professions, which I had the opportunity to carry out with the fellow members of the National Pedagogical Committee of the field.
