Innovation and employability: Moving beyond the buzzwords: a theoretical lens to improve chemistry education

In this chapter, we argue that it is possible to find a meaningful way to conduct chemistry teaching that fosters students' innovation competences and/or employability. Further, we argue that chemistry teaching for innovation and/or employability holds the key to begin to solve three key problems for chemistry education.
