About this title

Synopsis

Providing an analysis of the relationship between Internationalization and Employability in Higher Education, this book considers the perspectives of both students and employers to illustrate how to reach positive employment outcomes for all stakeholders.

Through a wide range of international case studies, this book delivers some key messages, including:

• The articulation of the link between internationalization and employability;
• The need for higher education institutions to communicate the benefits of an internationalized higher education beyond the academy;
• The need to ensure equity of graduate outcomes through enhanced internationalization at home;
• The impact of immigration policy on national benefits of internationalization of higher education;
• International study as a route to employability for migration purposes and building knowledge-based economies.

Considering the skills developed by students through mobility experiences, while exploring the need for enhanced internationalization of the curriculum at home, Internationalization and Employability in Higher Education will be a key resource for any higher education policy makers or university staff associated with careers, employment, and integrated learning. It contains important messages for employers and recruiters.
