毕业生的就业能力是高等教育机构、学术人员、当然还有学生本身的一个关键问题。人们认识到，要成为可就业的毕业生，既需要特定学科的技能/知识，也需要就业方面的更多通用技能。后者发展的关键一步是理解课程设计者和选修者对它们的意义。在这里，我们从教师、在校学生和应届毕业生的角度来比较关键技能的重要性。我们发现，这三个群体对几项关键技能的相对重要性有所不同。一名大学工作人员认为所有技能都很重要，而且许多技能比他们的学生更重要。事后看来，毕业生优先考虑当前学生认为不太重要的技能。我们综合了现有本科生、受雇毕业生和讲师的观点后，建议适当地向学生张贴关键技能的重要性标志至关重要。
Graduate employability is a key issue for Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), academic faculty and of course for students themselves. It is recognised that to be employable graduates require both discipline specific skills/knowledge and more generic skills for employment. A key step to the development of the latter is an understanding of their significance on the part of those designing courses and the students who take them. Here we compare the perceived importance of key skills from the perspective of teachers, current students and recent graduates. We find that the three groups differ in the relative importance they ascribe to several key skills.AÂ Staff rated all skills as being important and saw many as being more important than did their students.AÂ With hindsight, graduates prioritized skills that were not seen as being very important by current students.AÂ As a result of our synthesizing the views of current undergraduates, employed graduates and lecturing staff, we recommend that proper signposting of the significance of key skills to students is vital.
