Resumen

In today's digital age, acquiring digital skills is critical to success in the labour market, highlighting the urgency for educational institutions to integrate these skills into their academic programmes. Although the importance of this issue is recognised, a comprehensive assessment that merges quantitative and qualitative analyses on the subject is still lacking. Responding to this need, this study analyzes the scientific production on digital skills and employability of graduates, through a bibliometric analysis of publications in Scopus from 2015 to 2023. 24 relevant documents were identified, with Europe leading in scientific production and 2022 as the most productive year. Torres-Corona stands out as the most cited author, illustrating his influence in the field. The predominant topics focus on higher education, methodology and evaluation, professional challenges and the practical application of digital skills. These results underline the importance of evolving educational strategies to meet the demands of the digital labour market, providing key perspectives for future research and educational policy development.
