Publisher's Synopsis
An exploration of the concept of "employability" and its practical implications.;This report outlines what is understood by the term "employability" from the point of view of both employers and of young people who are entering their first "conventional" jobs.;Based on the findings of in-depth case studies and interviews, the report compares young peoples' concepts of "employability" on entering employment with those that they hold after the first six months in work. It also examines the activities of employers in relation to the induction process and their concepts of "employability".;The report adds a new dimension to the debate on "employability" and suggests ways in which policy makers can address the need to ensure that young people can progress within the labour market.
