Dataset for the paper: Employability Programmes in Higher Education: Supporting students through tangible, transitional, and transformational approaches.

This dataset is for the paper: Employability Programmes in Higher Education: Supporting students through tangible, transitional, and transformational approaches. This research introduces a new employability typology, grounded in Social Cognitive Theory, structured around three key areas: ‘Tangible, Transitional, and Transformational’. The ‘Tangible’ aspect focuses on student and institutional exchange to support labour market integration, delivered through courses, qualifications and other resources. The ‘Transitional’ element addresses the support students need as they move into post-graduate life and can be upwardly mobile in an organisation. Finally, the ‘Transformational’ aspect encourages institutions to view employability beyond a transactional lens, considering the students personal growth, ability to make meaningful choices, and other intangible benefits, reflecting universities role as civil actors.
