How can universities ensure that they are preparing their students
for today's competitive job market? This book tackles the highly
topical subject of graduate underemployment with insight and
clarity. The authors argue the case for more sophisticated research
into employability with passion and vision, discussing how
employability-friendly curricula can be developed, even in subjects
which have less obvious vocational relevance. The rapid growth of
higher education over the past fifty years has seen expectations
increase, and governments seeking to widen participation. There is
now an urgent need for the Government and higher education
institutions to address the issue of graduate employability. The
authors of this timely book encourage a pro-active stance, offering
a ground-breaking model that can be easily implemented in
institutions to make low-cost, high-gain improvements to students'
employability. Topics covered include: * The challenge of
employability * The study and careers of English graduates * The
enhancement of practice * Assessing employability * The Skills Plus
project. Based on a set of over 200 in-depth interviews with recent
graduates, this book forms a unique account of the meanings of
employability in the workplace.
