Abstract Providing high quality education and student experience is critical to attracting and retaining students in an increasingly competitive environment. Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) are under growing pressure to ‘guarantee’ their graduates’ employability and successful access to the labour market. On the other hand, with the increase of international student mobility in the past few decades, a new student profile has emerged, which includes broader professional perspectives in geographical terms. One of the challenges for HEIs is, therefore, to develop their graduates’ relevant sk

The sports sector is incredibly competitive as is the events industry, and therefore, those looking to break into the sector, particularly graduates, have an uphill task in demonstrating why they should be considered for roles in highly competitive environments. This is especially challenging in the sports sector as there isn't a particularly high churn rate, and those that do leave jobs tend to stay in the sector, therefore reducing the number of entry level positions. However, there is good news. The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the need for digitisation across all sectors, and the part

Employability is a positive and competitive state arising out of psychological capital, career identity, and social capital. Three studies were administered as censuses, (N=205), (N=214), (N=232), from graduates undertaking a skills training programme from Uganda Skills Development Programme (USDP). Quantitative analysis shows that psycap contributed greatly to employability, and social capital contributed less to employability of the unemployed but more to the employed in 2019 and 2020. Career identity showed a negative but significant relationship to employability in 2018 and 2019 while posi

Background Cambodia envisages to become an upper-middle-income country by 2030 and a high-income country by 2050. The country also aspires to develop into a knowledge-based society (MoEYS 2014). To support these goals, it is crucial to consider the role of higher education institutions (HEIs), particularly universities, in training, research and service. However, research has shown that Cambodian higher education is faced with many challenges ranging from skills mismatches to fragmented governance to limited research capacity and stakeholder involvement (Heng and Sol 2022a; Kwok et al. 2010).
