Employability
A set of achievements – skills, understandings and personal attributes – that makes graduates more likely to gain employment and be successful in their chosen occupations, which benefits themselves, the workforce, the community and the economy
(ESECT, based on Yorke 2006)

Employability - What it is
• A lifelong process. • Applies to all whatever their situation, course or mode of study. • It is complex and involves a number of areas that interlink. • Supporting people to develop a range of knowledge, skills, behaviours, attributes and attitudes • Enabling people to be successful not just in employment but in life. • In an HE context It is a university-wide responsibility. • Making the components of employability explicit to students to support their lifelong learning. Cole & Tibby (2013)

Employability - What it is not
• It is not about replacing academic rigour and standards. • It is not necessarily about adding additional modules into the curriculum. • It is not just about preparing students for employment. • It is not the sole responsibility of the Careers Department. • It is not something that can be quantified by any single measure (DLHE /Graduate Outcomes)
