Graduate Employability and Employability Capital

Donald, William E. · Advances in educational marketing, administration, and leadership book series · 2024

The meaning of the term graduate employability continues to evolve. Where skills and competencies development dominated the discourse of the late 20th and early 21st centuries, recent definitions of graduate employability take a more holistic approach. An area of nascent interest in literature is the development of different forms of employability capital. This chapter briefly presents the evolution of graduate employability before offering a more in-depth focus on employability capital. The different conceptualizations of employability capital are presented, culminating in the Employability Capital Growth (ECG) model consisting of nine forms of capital, external factors, and personal outcomes. Next, the focus shifts to the operationalization and practical application of the ECG model, offering benefits to various actors operating within a sustainable career ecosystem. The chapter concludes with real-world examples of developing graduate employability and using employability capital to bridge our understanding of theory and practice.

Employability has become an increasingly widespread concept both in management and policy, but its meaning remains somewhat enigmatic and ambiguous. This volume offers a much-needed critical analysis of the ideology, practices, and policies of employability, reflecting significant transformations in the world of work and the individualizing experience of contemporary labour markets. This volume draws on a wide range of empirical studies to examine how discourses of employability have impacted both individuals and institutions. Employability is often framed as an attribute of a person whereby individuals are lauded as “employable” or dismissed as “unemployable.” This language and logic of employability has spawned all kinds of myopic supply-side labour market policies coinciding with and giving fuel to neoliberal emphases on individual responsibility and commodification. The chapters in this volume employ diverse theoretical perspectives on the impact of employability across different empirical settings, including higher education, vocational training, and state policymaking, in the UK, US, Australia, Germany, and Brazil. Arguing that employability has an elusive character that renders it in dire need of sustained, critical analysis, Employability provides a much-needed framework for thinking about the enigma of employability and for critically reappraising its consequences.

This chapter underscores the need for more comparative research on labor market outcomes of student mobility, comparing countries, and comparing mobile and non-mobile students and program models. It examines the particular relationship between education abroad and employability from three perspectives: the transition from higher education to the labor market; employability skills; and employer perspectives. The chapter discusses the seeming disconnect between the role of education abroad programs with developing skills that employers identify as important, and evidence that these skills actually contribute to a student’s employability. Then the chapter concludes with recommendations for future research, especially as they relate to international internships and work-integrated learning, which may be better recognized as experiences that contribute to a graduate’s employability. Employers’ perceptions of education abroad is at the crux of how these programs contribute – or not – to employability.

In this chapter, I present an overview of academic and practical work with respect to employability. The goal is to explore how the concept of employability (and tools and techniques related to it) can have practical utility in career interventions, career counseling, and career management. Because employability resources are used in a variety of interventions related to career counseling, I aimed to create a practitioner-oriented review of a range of measures, case studies, and publications, as well as to indicate a range of available academic and commercial resources for promoting employability.

Individuals with high functioning autism (HFA) have the ability to perform job tasks sufficiently or even beyond expectations, however the social and behavioral impairments common among individuals with high functioning autism can act as a roadblock to obtaining and sustaining employment. Early preparation and practice building professional and interpersonal skills will help individuals with HFA demonstrate that they have the potential to be an asset to the workforce.

Employability refers to an individual’s ability to obtain and maintain employment. As this ability depends on individual, organizational, and labor market factors, capturing employability remains complex and different approaches exist. Individual level approaches differentially emphasize competencies, dispositions, or perceptions of internal and external employability. At the organizational level, employability investments are necessary for organizational competitiveness, but such investments may enable employable workers to move to competitors. Concurrently, organizations can use employability investments for retaining workers on precarious contracts in labor markets where workers compete for employment. Labor market approaches to employability recognize this notion of competition by incorporating industry-specific labor supply and -demand in describing employability. Additionally, recent work argues for sustainable employability to incorporate minimization of harm to individuals’ health and well-being as they compete in changing labor markets. This entry discusses these different approaches to employability to offer an accessible and critical pathway into the rich employability literature.
