Abstract	Higher education students need both generic skills and field-specific knowledge in order to cope with the diverse demands of working life. The aim of this study was to gain a better understanding of the development of university students' working life skills and of how these skills can be developed in learning environments utilizing the flipped classroom approach. The focus was on the experiences and thoughts of higher education teachers concerning which learning environment features support the development of working life skills. Altogether, 22 higher education teachers from a Finnish university were interviewed with semistructured interviews, and the data was subjected to content analysis. The results indicated that teachers identified several generic and field-specific working life skills, the most important of which were collaboration, communication, information literacy, and skills related to career and responsibilities. The flipped classroom appeared to support students' active role and facilitate versatile ways of learning. Especially, cooperative and active learning were identified to be the key means to support the development of students' working life skills in flipped classroom environments. Facilitating students' opportunities to develop their working life skills can be seen as an integral part of flipped classroom environments in many ways. However, it is important that the opportunities are actively promoted, and conceptual and practical tools are provided for the student through university studies. (As Provided).
