Continuing to provide students with employability opportunities despite the situation around us is a common struggle in international higher education. Research shows that students need employability skills to succeed in our global and constantly changing society. For this year’s EAIE conference our poster was focused on the theme: “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.

”Despite the pandemic, employability elements do not seem to be getting any less important when it comes to a student’s likelihood to recommend their higher education institute” – Nannette Ripmeester.
