The paper aims to offer a connection between the approach of Design Thinking (Dunne & Martin, 2006; Plattner, Meinel & Lefer, 2011) and the training process of employability construction within Career Services (Boffo, 2018a). Starting from a reconstruction of the historical roots (von Thienen, Clancey, Corazza & Meinel, 2018) and of the theoretical foundations of the method (Buchanan, 1992), application experiences can be found within contexts of life & career design (Burnett & Evans, 2016) in American and Irish universities. This is the basis on which the Skills Map service is based, a pilot project of the Career Service of the University of Florence, which is a path aimed at building entrepreneurial career through the Personal Business Model Canvas (Clark, Osterwalder & Pigneur, 2012).
