Graduate outcomes (GO)

This track explores how international education providers are defining, evidencing, and enhancing graduate outcomes in an increasingly complex global education and labour market. As governments, students, industry, and communities place growing emphasis on employability, impact, and return on investment, institutions are being challenged to move beyond traditional metrics and articulate the broader value of an international education experience. 

Sessions will examine graduate outcomes across diverse contexts and disciplines, including employability and career pathways, transferable and future-ready skills, global mobility, civic and social impact, and lifelong learning. The track will also highlight the role of alumni as both an outcome and an asset—exploring alumni career trajectories, global networks, and contributions to reputation, partnership development, philanthropy, and graduate employability. 

Topics

Topics under this KIA typically cover:

  • Innovative approaches to measure and evidencing outcomes for graduates
  • Building meaningful alumni engagement across regions and generations, partnerships with industry and employers
  • Career outcomes for international students
  • Digital platforms for alumni engagement
  • Policy settings in shaping and supporting graduate outcomes

 Note:

Contributions are invited from across the international education ecosystem, including universities, pathway and VET providers, alumni leaders, employers, policymakers, researchers, and students, to share evidence, practice, and perspectives on how graduate outcomes are being designed, delivered, sustained, and communicated for a global audience. 

Topics in this key interest area may overlap with teaching and learning (T&L) – particularly WIL and authentic assessment; learning abroad (LA) – particularly intercultural competencies and experiential learning; and professional development (PD)
