“This book is a timely and much needed contribution to the field of graduate employability. It addresses an overdue disconnect between the three key stakeholders concerned with graduate employability: universities, graduates and employers. The analysis of the combined perspectives and experiences of Vietnamese graduates, universities and employers elucidates Vietnam’s labour market needs, opportunities and challenges as well as graduates’ navigation to get a foothold in the labour market. This book also offers unique insights into graduate employability from the policy views in Vietnam. It discusses practical implications to enhance graduate employability, influenced by the dynamic, multi-layered complex relationship of higher education, geographical context and the labour market demand and supply. A compelling read for scholars, practitioners and policy makers alike.”
--Tien Ho,President , Phu Xuan University, Vietnam.
“This latest research by leadingscholars indicates how employability issues are sustained through wide and deep structures across a strong and emerging economy in Asia. The scholars not only highlight powerful actionable strategies to help redress these ongoing issues, but also transform a system to release the incredible potential of younger people in Vietnam.”
--Tony Wall, Founder/Head of International Centre for Thriving, University of Chester, Vietnam” with “Professor, Liverpool John Moores University, UK.
