Providing an analysis of the relationship between Internationalization and Employability in Higher Education, this book considers the perspectives of both students and employers to illustrate how to reach positive employment outcomes for all stakeholders. Through a wide range of international case studies, this book delivers some key messages, including: The articulation of the link between internationalization and employability;The need for higher education institutions to communicate the benefits of an internationalized higher education beyond the academy;The need to ensure equity of graduate outcomes through enhanced internationalization at home;The impact of immigration policy on national benefits of internationalization of higher education;International study as a route to employability for migration purposes and building knowledge-based economies.Considering the skills developed by students through mobility experiences, while exploring the need for enhanced internationalization of the curriculum at home, Internationalization and Employability in Higher Education will be a key resource for any higher education policy makers or university staff associated with careers, employment, and integrated learning. It contains important messages for employers and recruiters. This book is timely and important. In, 2014 Elspeth Jones and I wrote that we need to change the language of internationalization. We observed a disconnect between the three key stakeholders in the internationalization process: universities, students and employers. This book is addressing this disconnect and is thereby a crucial contribution to the understanding of the relationship between internationalization and employability in higher education.Professor Hans de Wit, Director, Center for International Higher Education at Boston College This book is a unique contribution to our understanding of the compelling nexus of international education and employability. It focuses on how prominent dimensions in internationalization, including outbound and inbound mobility, transnational education and at-home internationalization, intersect with student employment and employability. The book is a comprehensive text analysing policy discourse and practices from a range of national and regional contexts and discussing insightful implications to enhance student employability in an environment shaped by the complex relationship between higher education and the labour market. Dr Ly Tran, Associate Professor in the School of Education, Deakin University, Australia This is a fascinating book, which provides important new knowledge about the link between internationalization and employability. It is impressively wide in its geographical scope, and also in its coverage of education - discussing the ways in which mobility (for part or the whole of a degree), transnational provision and 'internationalization at home' can all help to build important skills and attributes for employment. A compelling read for scholars and practitioners alike.Dr Rachel Brooks, Professor of Sociology and Associate Dean (Doctoral College), University of Surrey, UK.While there are proliferating literature on internationalization of higher education and graduate employability, the book edited by Gribble and Coelen is one of few scholarly efforts systematically linking the two concepts. It is the most comprehensive book unfolding the complex and multifaceted relations between internationalization and employability with insightful discussions and empirical evidences of various contexts. It is not only a must read book for researchers in the field but also highly relevant to (international) students and their stakeholders, such as higher education institutions, policy-makers and employers.
