"Employability is not just about
getting a job. Conversely, Just Because
a student is on a vocational course does
That somehow not mean employability
is automatic. Employability is more than
About Developing attributes, techniques or
experience just to enable a student to get
a job, or to progress Within a current career.
It is about Learning and the emphasis is less on
'Employ' and more on 'Ability'. In essence, the
Developing emphasis is on critical, reflective
abilities, with a view to empowering and
Enhancing the learner."
(Harvey, 2003)
