The App for global employability in highered
Employability seems to be receiving increasing attention lately in the world of Higher Education. And for a good reason! Students call for it, employers look for it and Higher Education Institutions are expected to provide it. But the quest for employability can become tricky when a clear definition is missing and expectations seem to vary.
This first edition of CP Magazine focuses on exploring the concept of employability within Higher Education in order to identify potential ‘hitches’ and solutions and open the way for a common approach to employability.
Through the following pages, we will find out more about (mis)match in expectations when it comes to employability, insightful research results, and resources and last but not least, the concept of employability through the lens of gamification.

CareerProfessor.works was featured in the ICEF Podcast ”The growing importance of career opportunities for international students’‘. In this podcast, there was a discussion on how a greater emphasis on career planning is influencing student decision making this year. Want to know more? Have a listen here.
CareerProfessor.works was mentioned in the ”Reflections on Employability” blog of i-graduate. Research shows that there is a substantial gap between education and the global world of work which higher insitutions have to close. And one of the solutions to closing this gap is in the digital career app, created by CareerProfessor.works.
For the EAIE conference this year our poster was themed: “How to make bold changes to boost employability”. Nannette Ripmeester discussed the changes that have arisen in supporting student’s employability amidst the pandemic and focused on how to digitally train employability skills with the necessary tools and also showed how institutions can use tech to help students unpack what they have to offer to employers.

For this year’s NAFSA conference the central focus of our poster highlighted “The End of Internationalization?”and how to prepare students for the global world of work.To view the full version of the poster presentation click here.
In the second video, the importance of cultural differences is stressed. Employers nowadays are more intrigued by the experiences of their job applicants and how they believe they can use these in the world of work than ‘just’ a list with skills. The CareerProfessor app does exactly that: helping students develop a strategic toolkit for finding jobs on the global labour market by enhancing their employability skills.
