METHODOLOGY

Where Education meets Employability​.

---

"Employability is a set of achievements – skills, understandings and personal attributes – that makes graduates more likely to gain employment and be successful in their chosen occupations, which benefits themselves, the workforce, the community and the economy.”
​Yorke, M. (2004), Employability in higher education: what it is - what it is not, The Higher Education Academy/ESECT

• Processes to evaluate actions and organizations, experience feedback: We look at the institution's processes for evaluating its own actions and organizations, and for collecting and incorporating feedback from students, faculty, and other stakeholders.
