Student Success: measuring and measures of employability

Student Success is a six-month longitudinal project for the Connect Benefit Series 2021-22 focusing embedding employability and access, retention, attainment and progression in higher education. This is the first in a series of four podcasts previewing the findings of a literature review on employability 2016-21, which will be published as part of this theme.

In this episode, Dr Andrea Macrae, Principal Lecturer, Stylistics and Student Experience at Oxford Brookes University is joined by Dr Roger Dalrymple, Associate Dean: Student Outcomes at Oxford Brookes University to discuss the findings of a literature review on employability 2016-21, with particular emphasis on measurement of different employability interventions and employability development.

Dr Darymple discusses his particular area of focus of the literature review on measuring and measures of employability, focusing on innovations in the what and the how of measuring employability, the comparative work between different national systems, and the surprising findings from the literature review.
