What is employability and why should you think about it?

In a fast moving world of career and employment, we need to be able to review options, reflect on our strengths and development needs, and adapt to new opportunities. Employability is the term that encompasses these skills and attributes. For the University vision of Employability click here. For a short video explaining employability click here.
