Abstract
ABSTRACT The concepts of employability and generational effects are emerging disciplines within the context of business education management research, but their complementary role in curriculum development and enrichment is yet to be explored. The study employs a work-related employability course for a business school undergraduate cohort (N = 267) consisting of various generations to examine the generational effects from the student stakeholder perspective of work-related learning outcomes in employability embedded curricula. This research shows the differences in students’ perceptions based on age generations as shown to be marked by the Generations X, Y and Z, which also produces a different inter-generational learning opportunity with distinct characteristics. We established that undergraduate multi-generational cohorts expect contextualised employability-related teaching to accompany designing and embedding work-related employability curricula. We show that an employability embedded curriculum is likely to improve students’ employability decisions when different inter-generational learning environments are factored into programme development, delivery, and assessment.
