L'européanisation des systèmes d'enseignement supérieur-synonyme de standardisation et de mise en compétition libérale - commencée au début des années 2000 a également concerné les pays du Maghreb (Algérie, Maroc et Tunisie). Dans ce cadre, l'injonction de professionnalisation et l'élargissement des missions de l'enseignement supérieur à l'employabilité et l'insertion des étudiants sont au coeur d'un processus de transformations visant un rapprochement éducation-économie. Orienté à l'origine vers « la modernisation de l'enseignement supérieur », ce processus a pris une dimension politique et sociale singulière après les « Printemps arabes » qui ont commencé fin 2010 au Maghreb. Or, bien avant ces révoltes juvéniles, qui s'expliquent entre autres par un découplage formation supérieure-emploi public, les trois pays du Maghreb étaient déjà confrontés à la question de l'emploi des jeunes, en particulier des jeunes diplômés. C'est ainsi que les objectifs de professionnalisation des offres de formation et d'amélioration de l'employabilité et de l'insertion des diplômés sont devenus un défi majeur pour les systèmes d'enseignement supérieur maghrébins en général et algérien en particulier. Appuyé sur des données issues d'enquêtes de terrain, cet ouvrage interroge plus particulièrement le processus de réformes de l'enseignement supérieur au regard de ce défi. Ce terrain est particulièrement heuristique car, comparativement à ses voisins maghrébins, l'Algérie a conduit plusieurs réformes et expérimenté la professionnalisation des formations supérieures avec un objectif adéquationniste université-entreprise. Mais avec quels résultats pour les diplômés et quels impacts sur le système d'enseignement supérieur dans son ensemble ? Pour y répondre, l'auteur propose une mise en perspective de ces réformes, en les situant dans leurs contextes politique, socio-économique et historique.

What are the correlations between the education employees bring to their jobs, the education required to do those jobs, and the skills employees acquire while working on the job? Written as a sequel to the critically acclaimed The Education-Jobs Gap, Livingstone and contributors explore these questions by building on earlier research and presenting new labour force surveys and case studies of different economic classes and specific occupational groups. The survey evidence finds an increasingly overqualified non-managerial labour force (especially service sector and industrial workers, recent immigrants, and visible minorities). The case studies of professional employees (teachers and computer programmers), clerical workers, auto workers, and workers with disabilities explore how workers modify these apparent gaps by continuing to learn and reshape their jobs. The book is the most thorough exploration to date of relations between workers and jobs. The Education-Job Requirement Matching (EJRM) Research Project team, including M. Lordan, S. Officer, K.V. Pankhurst, M. Radsma, M. Raykov, J. Weststar, and O. Wilson, worked closely together for several years conducting and analyzing both survey and case study data. The new paradigm they present aims to help reshape future studies of learning and work.

Starting from the premise that learning and career development happen naturally and optimally through collaboration and social relationships, this book challenges the dominant employability skills discourse by exploring socially connected and networked perspectives to learning and teaching in higher education. With 10 empirical case studies of educational practice, chapters investigate the development of learner capabilities, teaching approaches, and institutional strategies to foster lifelong graduate employability through social connectedness. The book argues that higher education institutions have placed themselves at a disadvantage in learning and teaching by limiting and prescribing interactions that prevent multidisciplinary and cross-functional collaboration, and embeddedness into wider industry and community networks. The book offers new strategies and pedagogic approaches that can support learners to build, maintain and make the most of social connections for purposeful participation in life and work. It also demonstrates how universities can forge effective partnerships internally as well as with industry and community partners to ensure the relevance and vibrancy of university learning. Offering an alternative perspective on learning and teaching in higher education with international relevance, this book is a practical resource that can be used by educators to inform teaching practice and curriculum development. It will be essential for university leadership, as well as academics and researchers focused on education policy and university management.

In a world where there are increasing concerns about graduate underemployment and likely career trajectories, it is not surprising that there is a significant body of literature examining graduate careers in post-industrial societies. However, it has become increasingly evident in recent years that there is a stark disconnect between academics who research employment and education, and careers and employability professionals. Graduate Careers in Context?brings these two separate groups together for the first time in order to provide a better understanding of graduate careers.The book addresses the problems surrounding the graduate labour market and its relationship to higher education and public policy. Drawing on varied perspectives, the contributors provide a comprehensive examination of issues such as geography, mobility and employability, before presenting and discussing the benefits of future collaboration between practitioners and academic researchers.? The interdisciplinary focus of this book will make it of great interest to academics, researchers and postgraduate students in the areas of education, sociology, social policy, business studies and career guidance and coaching. It should also be essential reading for practitioners who wish to consider their role and responsibilities within the changing higher education market.
