Cover Higher Education and the Future of Graduate Employability
Higher Education and the Future of Graduate Employability
A Connectedness Learning Approach
Edited by Ruth Bridgstock and Neil Tippett
This book challenges the dominant ‘employability skills’ discourse by exploring socially connected and networked perspectives to learning and teaching in higher education. Both learning and career development happen naturally and optimally in ecologies, informal communities and partnerships. In the digital age, they are also highly networked. This book presents ten empirical case studies of educational practice that investigate the development of learner capabilities, teaching approaches, and institutional strategies in higher education, to foster lifelong graduate employability through social connectedness.
