Graduate capabilities and the future of work: It all comes down to GRIT
In a rapidly changing global workforce, reshaped by Future of Work dynamics including AI adoption, automation, and transforming employability skills by 2030, universities face pressure to equip graduates with capabilities beyond disciplinary expertise for sustained global employability. This study analyses graduate capability statements from 41 Australian universities using Gioia methodology to derive an integrated framework comprising four meta-…
Bricolage theorization through Women Green Entrepreneurship: A pathway for managing entrepreneurial resource constraints
Given global issues like environmental degradation and gender equality, this study explores “Women Green Entrepreneurship” (WGEP), an emerging domain integrating environmental stewardship and women’s empowerment. Utilizing bricolage as a strategic tool, it examines how women green entrepreneurs (WGE) in India and Australia mobilize limited resources across five bricolage types – physical, labor, skill, customer/market, and institutional. Employin…
Preparing for work placements: Sensemaking among international health science students
Work placement is an important aspect of higher education studies and career preparation.Effective preparation is crucial for students to succeed in placements, yet little is known about international students' placement preparation, particularly regarding their sensemaking.This qualitative study, guided by an integrative theoretical framework, examined international health science (HSc) undergraduate students' sensemaking behaviors as they prepa…
Perceived employability and career readiness among STEM students: Does gender matter
Gender equity is an area of concern within STEM, where women are underrepresented in education and career roles. Increasing the representation of women in STEM and removing negative gender stereotypes are necessary actions, both of which can be fostered during formal education through employability initiatives and in the workplace. This study focused on the university setting and explores the perceived employability beliefs of students in STEM (i…
Do STEM women feel ethically and emotionally better prepared for their careers than men
Despite a growing imperative for graduates to possess STEM skills, both to boost their employability prospects and their perceived economic value, it is critical to also consider the professional or 'soft skills' that will enable these graduates to thrive in their careers. Ironically, gender differences in personality and occupational choice are larger, not smaller, in more gender-equal countries. This is known as the gender equality paradox and …
Securing work placements: Strategies among international engineering students
As part of their international higher education experience, international students in some degree programs are required to secure and complete work placements. This is challenging to many, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite this, there is limited research on how international students navigate challenges to secure placements in their host country, which informed the current study. Data was gathered through 39 semi-structured inter…
Learning in the workplace: Newcomers’ information seeking behaviour and implications for education
Information seeking is integral to the workplace learning of organisational newcomers including new recruits, graduates in study-to-work transition, and students on work-integrated learning (WIL) placements. Despite the importance of information seeking in newcomers’ workplace learning, previous research findings are fragmented and inconsistent. This indicates a need to inform research and practice by mapping the extant literature through a scopi…
Challenges to international students in work-integrated learning: A scoping review
Work-integrated learning (WIL), particularly workplace-based WIL, provides international students with opportunities to be exposed to authentic working contexts, consequently enhancing student employability development. However, the literature indicates that many international students struggle in WIL despite continuous efforts by higher education institutions. A scoping review will inform future research and practice that seeks to enhance the WI…
Development, validation and deployment of the EmployAbility scale
This article presents the development, validation and deployment of a scale with which higher education students self-assess their perceived employability. Underpinned by social cognitive career theory and Yorke and Knight’s (2007) USEM model for students’ attainment of employability, a perceived employability questionnaire was developed and piloted with 1849 university students. The final questionnaire was administered with students from over 15…
