Audio engineering graduates’ perspectives on employability: A study in the Australian context

This thesis examines the perspectives of employed graduates of Western Australian audio engineering institutions on employability. This research is the first in Australia to focus on the perspectives of graduates of audio engineering institutions. As a result, the research presented in this study provides a contribution to addressing the gap in knowledge by focusing on the Western Australian context. Findings highlight the relevance of employability skills and attributes and how these interact with the professional realities of audio engineers. Recommendations for institutional policy, educational practice and future research are presented, along with a discussion of challenges.
