Evidence

Whoever says ”employability” clearly says adaptability. ”Employability” is a neo-management concept that indicates ”the capacity to respond to a world in motion” by a supple use of abilities, which supposes we do not focus on one and only one skill, just as a cortical region does not participate in one and only one function. — Catherine Malabou, What Should We Do with Our Brain?, 152
