A contested topic • Despite the use of the term ‘employability’ at the highest level, it still remains
a contested term used in a range of contexts (Hillage & Pollard, 1998).
• Gazier, (1998:298) (Cited in McQuaid & Lindsay, 2005:197) states
employability is ‘a fuzzy notion, often ill-defined and sometimes not defined
at all.’
• Philpott (1999) describe employability as a ‘buzzword’ which is often used
but which is interpreted in a number of ways.
• Williams et al. (2015) highlight the definition of employability has evolved
over the years and still continues to be contested.
• Gedye & Beaumont (2018) Employability is elusive and there have been a
wealth of interpretations across different disciplines

Defining Employability
“A set of achievements - skills, understandings and
personal attributes - that make individuals more likely
to gain employment and be successful in their chosen
occupations, which benefits themselves, the
workforce, the community and the economy.”
HEA ESECT working definition: Yorke (2006:8).

Change is accelerating
Some jobs will disappear, others
will grow and jobs that don’t even
exist today will become
commonplace. What is certain is
that the future workforce will need
to align its skillset to keep pace.
(Gray, 2016)
