Abstract | This paper discusses the outcomes of an action-research project designed to consider whether a compulsory foundational work-integrated learning (WIL) subject within a faculty at an Australian university could make an impact on three key outcomes: 1) student awareness of employability; 2) student perceptions of WIL approaches to enhance employability skills; 3) student understanding of the value of career platform tools to practise and demonstrate employability skills. Results gathered from a pre- and post-study survey and subject evaluation survey indicate an improvement in student perceptions relating to the three intersecting aspects of employability learning after completing the subject. At the conclusion of the study, over 3,000 students had completed the subject and it had evolved to become core in 80% of undergraduate courses in the Faculty. The results provide evidence of a sustainable course-wide curriculum approach for commencing the horizontal and vertical scaffolding of constructively aligned discipline-specific employability assessments.
