dc.description.abstract | Focusing on the importance of employability skills and the different ways they can be developed within Tourism Higher Education (THE) institutions, this paper describes different activities within this scope, reflecting on their affordances and potential implications for students. Selected based on their perceived impact and currency, these activities, which include filed trips, simulations/role-plays and job fairs, were all carried out at the School of Hospitality and Tourism, having involved students, faculty and external stakeholders. Making a case for experiential learning and University-Industry (U-I) collaboration, the paper aims to make a contribution the ongoing debate on the role of HE institutions in enhancing employability by crosscutting different perspectives and sharing insights from the field. Drawing from observation and questionnaires applied to the students, the findings are empirical and practice-based, deeming it necessary to carry out further research and initiatives on the topic. | pt_PT |
