Abstract
University, Business and Society have been keeping a close relationship conditioned by the economic, social, political and functional elements that operate in each historical moment. Today, the academic culture and a functionalist vision of the acquisition of leadership skills and competences seek to coexist and engage in university environments. This article, prepared on the basis of a documentary review, analyses the concept of talent from the companies perspective, and studies the change towards models of students who favour employees more prepared to work, with aspirations and protagonists of their own learning to have more opportunities that improve their employability and, therefore, their quality of life. This research invites reflection on whether universities should take a new approach to adapt to an emerging context and to foresee future situations that maintain them as agents and educational benchmarks.
Key words: learning, teaching, training, talent, competence and leadership.
