Editorial 
 
Welcome to the first publication of the Journal of Teaching and Learning for Graduate 
Employability. This peer-reviewed web-based journal is a continuous publication, 
ensuring that papers have currency and authors are not faced with the long lead time 
between acceptance and publication that characterises print-based journals. As an e-
journal it is available to anyone with access to the internet at no cost. 
 
The Journal aims to provide a forum for the dissemination of research and evidence-
based practice in higher education teaching and learning for graduate employability. 
Graduate employability is an issue of concern to academics, career advisors, 
students and employers regardless of discipline or profession. We see the Journal as 
a forum that will foster interdisciplinary dialogue among researchers, teacher 
scholars, careers staff and industry and professional practitioners. For information on 
the foci of the journal and instructions for authors please visit the website:

We are privileged to launch the journal with an article by Mantz Yorke. Professor 
Yorke is a leading figure in the domain of graduate employability and co-author with 
Peter Knight of Learning, Curriculum and Employability in Higher Education (2003) 
and Assessment, Learning and Employability (2003). Professor Yorke’s work is 
responsible for a revolution in thinking about graduate employability that sees it not 
simply as a set of skills but as a fundamental aspect of good curriculum design.  
 
The Journal of Teaching and Learning for Graduate Employability would not be 
issuing its first publication without the help of many people. Our thanks to those who 
agreed to form the editorial board, to those who have generously reviewed papers, to 
Professor Beverley Oliver the indefatigable deputy editor, and to the tireless editorial 
assistants Dr Helen Flavell and more latterly Linda Lilly. 
 
Professor Robyn Quin, Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Curtin University
