Exploring Vietnamese University Students' Acquisition and Development of Graduate Employability Capital

This study reports on the extent to which Vietnamese higher education students perceived employability capital. Drawing on the theory of Tomlinson (2017) [1], we investigated their levels of capital by using two primary sources of quantitative and qualitative data, thus informing the students’ lived experiences and voices behind their preparation for the future career. Findings showed that the students perceived forms of capital very differently and acknowledged all forms of capital are crucial and supporting each other for the sake of work readiness. Conclusions and implications are also presented at the end of the manuscript.
