  This review paper fits in the context of the adequate matching of training to
employment, which is one of the main challenges that universities around the
world strive to meet. In higher education, the revision of curricula
necessitates a return to the skills required by the labor market to train
skilled labors.
  In this research, we started with the presentation of the conceptual
framework. Then we quoted different currents that discussed the problematic of
the job training match from various perspectives. We proceeded to choose some
studies that have attempted to remedy this problem by adopting the
competency-based approach that involves the referential line. This approach has
as a main characteristic the attainment of the match between training and
employment. Therefore, it is a relevant solution for this problem. We
scrutinized the selected studies, presenting their objectives, methodologies
and results, and we provided our own analysis. Then, we focused on the Moroccan
context through observations and studies already conducted. And finally, we
introduced the problematic of our future project.
