As the narrative hardens around Graduate Outcomes (GO) and the Office for Students (OfS) pursuit of employment baselines, do universities and careers and employability services know their students well enough to meet their aims?
At the start of my training (2011), a period I consider the birth of careers provision on a mass scale (i.e. response to Browne and DLHE) universities introduced concepts like embedded curriculum, enterprise, work experience, students as consumers and employability.
I recall my mentor advising me to “be comfortable with the term employability” and “expect DLHE to become integral” in the future higher education landscape.
