Abstract

Abstract International students studying a Master of Professional Accountancy (MPA), or equivalent postgraduate degree in accounting, in Australia were designed to fill the skills shortage gap for accountants, but employability rates appear low at 25% compared to 75% for domestic graduates. University work integrated learning (WIL) programs have been implemented to provide opportunities to increase employability, yet participation rates for international students appear low. This study uses an exploratory, qualitative approach, with semi‐structured interviews of industry and students, to explore the participation rates, experiences and expectations of stakeholders in relation to WIL. Implications of the findings for stakeholders include preparation programs and simulated WIL opportunities.

工作整合学习能带来就业能力吗?国际研究生会计学生

国际学生在澳大利亚学习专业会计硕士(MPA)，或同等的会计研究生学位，旨在填补会计师技能短缺的空白，但就业率似乎很低，为25%，而国内毕业生的就业率为75%。大学工作综合学习(WIL)项目已经实施，为提高就业能力提供了机会，但国际学生的参与率似乎很低。本研究采用探索性定性方法，对行业和学生进行半结构化访谈，探讨利益相关者与工学结合相关的参与率、经验和期望。研究结果对利益相关者的影响包括准备计划和模拟的人工智能机会。
