The global graduate: Developing the global careers service

Abstract

Graduate employability is an international issue. Students seek a higher education experience with added value in terms of employability and an international perspective. The University of Nottingham, an established global university with campuses in Malaysia and China, attracts students from across the world. These students have diverse and culturally-specific career development needs, requiring skilled practitioners with knowledge of the global graduate opportunity structure. Using a case study approach this article explores ways in which the Careers and Employability Services are being developed to meet a global market through support for staff and internationalised employer engagement.
