Abstract	This article seeks to emphasize the key aspects of the relationship between social and humanities sciences and employability culture by (a) examining global trends, shifts, practices, and challenges; (b) emphasizing the Greek context; and (c) assessing pertinent factors at the University of Crete. The objective is to pinpoint effective approaches, as well as the prevalent global difficulties and obstacles, while also evaluating the present state of play, concerning the employability culture of recent graduates (both Greek and international graduates) in the social and humanities sciences and the possible effects on their future perspectives. Employability culture is compared and analyzed in contrast with employment to show the differences between the two terms and their outcomes in society. The employment landscape of these graduates and their employability profile are analyzed through empirical data and relevant public policies. Based on international experiences, valuable insights and policy recommendations are provided to ease the integration of graduates into the labor market and address societal issues, such as unemployment, employment insecurity, and vulnerability. These insights are developed by examining the various facets of social sciences and humanities graduate employability culture and the relevant public policies designed to enhance it.
