This book discusses the topic of graduate employability from the
premise that in this era of 'massification,' economic austerity,
and political uncertainties, higher education (HE) no longer
guarantees a clear 'work place advantage.' Divided into three
sections, the book offers theoretical and philosophical discourses
on the 'HE quandary,' whilst taking into account - and critiquing -
political, temporal, and national contexts. It culminates in an
investigation into specific discipline areas. It offers insights
into the way that institutions, decision-makers, academics, and
professional support staff can work together towards ensuring that
our graduates are able to cope with the varied demands and
challenges of modern job markets. It harnesses arguments and
reflections on the breadth and depth of the functions of HE, such
as social transformation, promoting principles of social justice,
and providing opportunities. It grounds these in a triadic model
for enhancing student engagement and holistic learning, namely, the
emotional, cognitive, and behavioural aspects. As an anthology, it
is forward-gazing in terms of the sustainability debate, whilst
still offering evidence-based, research-grounded, practical
suggestions to readers looking for tips and tools of the trade.
