Dedicated parts guide readers through topics, key issues and debates relating to delivering, facilitating, achieving and evaluating graduate employability. Chapters offer critical and reflective positions, providing examples of a range of student and graduate destinations, and cover a wide range of topics from employability development, to discipline differences, gender, race and inclusion issues, entrepreneurialism, and beyond.

Showcasing positions and voices from diverse communities, industries, political spheres and cultural landscape, this book will support the research of students, researchers and practitioners across a broad range of social science areas.

Part I Facilitating and Achieving Graduate Employability

Part II Segmenting Graduate Employability: Subject by Subject Considerations

Part III Graduate Employability and Inclusion

Part IV Country and Regional Differences

Part V Policy Makers′ and Employers′ Perceptions on Graduate Employability

Few would argue against the notion of higher education being committed to developing students’ employability – a notion that implies the capability to function productively in a complex, interconnected and continually evolving world. Some graduates will choose to work locally and perhaps individually, whereas others will collaborate in teams that are national or international in character. The subject(s) chosen for study necessarily influence the emphases given to aspects of employability – consider the different expectations of graduates from programmes in fine art, social science and medicine, for example. This book, importantly, invites readers to consider employability from the perspectives of students, teachers and the world beyond the academy, and to work with an approach appropriate to their particular circumstances.
