Revisiting the CareerEDGE model of graduate employability

Abstract

It has been thirteen years since the publication of the article that introduced the CareerEDGE model of graduate employability. During this time, there have been many changes in Higher Education and the graduate employment market, which raises the question, is the CareerEDGE model still relevant in 2020? This article looks back at the development of the model and the complementary questionnaire, the Employability Development Profile and evaluates their global impact. It also considers any criticisms and explores some other employability-related concepts for inclusion in a model of graduate employability development.
