No matter how developed the ‘employability’ of international students or graduates is, they might still struggle to get hired due to the lack of ‘employer-ability’ at local companies. What is the role of higher education institutions in connecting these two currents? This poster shows how we are developing an online learning module on employer-ability, helping staff at companies, universities and in the third sector to develop partnerships, skills, knowledge and practices together.
