Ellie Koseda1; Ivan K. Cohen2; Jasmine Cooper3; Bryan McIntosh3
Policy Futures in Education, v23 n3 p676-688 2025
In recent years, there has been a change in the objectives of Higher Education (HE): the inclusion of employability. The successful inclusion of employability as a goal of HE requires a change to the sector's teaching, learning and assessment (TLA) methods, which ought to be part of an HEI's strategy. In particular, there needs to be an emphasis on adjustments to both curriculum design and modes of assessment, both for the inclusion of employability and also in preparation for digital transformation (Education 4.0) as well as internationalisation. Any HEI development plan should acknowledge the importance of employability. To meet national standards and keep up with evolving trends in the job market, every programme needs to equip students with the necessary skills, knowledge, and experience to succeed in their future careers. Every institution is obligated to provide opportunities for students from all backgrounds and capabilities to learn about work.
