Sustainable and Dynamic Graduate Employability : A Comparative Overview Across Geographies

This volume presents a theoretical and strategic discussion on the linkages between sustainable graduate employability, skill building and economic growth. With case studies from India, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Taiwan, England, Germany, the United States, United Arab Emirates, Australia and Asian countries, it looks at the skills training and education landscape around the continents, examines the state of employment, and offers case‑specific recommendations. The book analyses the role of higher education and vocational education policies and strategies in integrating skill training in education in order to achieve quality education and sustainable employment for all.

An important critique of skills training, education policy, and employment planning, the volume will be an essential read for scholars and researchers of sustainable development, development studies, public policy, political economy, labour studies, and education. It will also be useful for policymakers.
