About

Employability is the capability of an individual to secure and sustain employment across their career lifecycle. This concept, as a research construct, investigates the dynamic interplay of individual attributes, skills, knowledge, and external contextual factors that enable effective navigation and successful transitions within the labor market. It is characterized by its multifaceted nature, encompassing both technical proficiency and transferable capabilities, and is a subject of ongoing academic debate regarding its precise definition, measurement, and the relative importance of individual agency versus structural influences. Its significance lies in its centrality to understanding individual career development, informing educational and training policies, guiding organizational human resource strategies, and analyzing broader labor market dynamics and performance.
