Abstract

Employability is a fairly nebulous concept in literature. It is used in a wide variety of concepts and often without specific meaning. This literature review is designed to help future policy developments by developing a definition of the term employability. A model and a framework within which to place the concept of employability are described. The review and discussion raise a number of areas of potential interest for further research.
