Why is it important?

The purpose of this study is to examine the underexplored link between entrepreneurship education (EE) and graduate employability in the higher education (HE) sector in the United Kingdom (UK). Our findings demonstrate a unidirectional link between EE and employability outcomes. This link is affected by societal, stakeholder-related, and teaching and learning-related factors.

Perspectives

The collection of interview data for this study was interesting because we invited representatives of the "supply" side of entrepreneurship education to share their insights and thoughts with us. I hope that readers will appreciate the wide variety of lived experiences reported in the article, which highlights different employability outcomes and approaches to entrepreneurship education across British universities.
