Beyond the brochure: What employability really looks like for students

Episode Summary

We know that students and parents are more invested in employability outcomes than ever before, but beyond the data, what does that actually mean? In this episode, we step into the day-to-day reality of employability, hearing directly from an agent, a classroom educator and an employability expert about how these conversations actually unfold with students, and where expectations and reality diverge. Our host draws out the common threads between the different vantage points, and guests share what they wish students understood earlier in their journey - and what could make the process better for everyone involved. Employability expert, Gordon Scott, who works closely on employability-focused course design, will also share why training around this topic matters and where it can genuinely help.
