Abstract

Employability awards have been implemented within universities as a strategy to support student development of employability and ultimately attainment of employment. The extant research into employability awards lacks a theoretical approach to designing and evaluating the impact of employability awards on relevant outcomes including employability and employment. This paper, informed by career construction theory, proposes a learner-focused, process model for developing employability. It also paves the way for future research to evaluate the impact of employability award programs.
