 Examples of good practice in using partnerships with employers to create courses, or, in embedding employability and making it explicit within the learning experience.

These employability case studies were jointly commissioned by the Business, Management, Accountancy and Finance Subject Centre (BMAF)and the Hospitality, Leisure Sport and Tourism Network (HLST).

Ten were originally published as Employability Studies in Business and Management.

The full 20 case studies were then published in 2006 as Enhancing Graduate Employability in Business and Management, Hospitality, Leisure, Sport, Tourism, edited by Nina Becket and Patsy Kemp, Threshold Press, Newbury.
