“…Attention in work is heightened soul activity in which the soul is entirely concentrated on an item (object/thing) or a group of things. Attention is a reaction of the organism and consciousness that results in increased activity, concentrated power, and limited awareness of a single object (Crowne et al, 2020;Stellmacher et al, 2020). Someone interested in a particular job will pay great attention to that job.…”

This study uses the ex-post-facto method. The study included 82 undergraduate students. Simple random sampling was utilized as the sampling technique with a questionnaire to collect the data collection. The findings revealed that: income expectations, attention, willingness, family environment, and community environment all had a positive and significant influence on working interest in the industry; income expectations had a positive and significant influence on working interest in the industry; attention has a positive and significant influence on working interest in industry, willingness has a positive and significant influence on working interest in the industry, family environment has a positive and significant influence on working interest in the industry, and community environment has a positive and significant influence on working interest in the industry.

“…Our later activities appear to be parallel to the work of Guth and Stonebraker (2021), and also of Pothier and Condon (2020), which discusses the importance of the librarians' collaborations with College of Business faculty as recognized by AACSB for positive impact on student outcome. Similarly, Crowne et al (2020) describe the benefits of embeddedness for career activities in business courses, which reflects our philosophy on these points. This case is a source of pride in efforts toward deliberate change which have expanded in the last five years due to college and university infrastructure improvements which enabled the increased support of collaboration.…”

PurposeThis article discusses the experiences of a university's business school in enhancing the preparation of undergraduates through the innovative design and delivery of Business Policy, the capstone course taken by all business students.Design/methodology/approachThe case discusses the proactive approaches taken to explicitly align efforts between thinking and doing, for both faculty course designers and student participants alike.FindingsTen strategic areas of innovation and improvement are identified and discussed as areas for individual course alignment as well as the impetus for college and university business program development and delivery.Practical implicationsThese innovations can be replicated by other institutions to enhance graduates' career preparation, pursue greater consistency with their organization's mission, develop external stakeholder engagement, and enhance internal collaboration with colleagues within the business school and across the university.Originality/valueThe unique value of this innovative and multifaceted approach was recognized by AACSB International, the elite accrediting agency for business schools, in several articles and at a conference on undergraduate program innovation.

“…The author points out how this is at odds with the idea of empowering students to compete in the job market. Others point to the lack of take-up that can occur when career services are not connected to the main programme of study (Crowne et al, 2020), hence leading to the available resources not being accessed. On the other hand, career centres have been shown to increase the self-efficacy of student decision-making with respect to career (Reese & Miller, 2006) and to pursue varying strategies in addressing knowledge gaps held by graduates (Farenga & Quinlan, 2016).…”

Youth unemployment is a growing, global issue with regions of the Muslim world being particularly exposed to the problem. This paper examines a sub-set of this issue; graduate unemployment. In particular it seeks to understand the role of student aspirations, knowledge and motivation in tackling this issue. The paper draws on the Islamic literature to develop a theoretical framework of ‘Uluww-al-himmah, high-aiming aspirations, and Rajaa, true hope. These concepts are studied with the aim of improving not only graduate employment rates, but also the wellbeing of graduates who do not find employment. The theoretical framework provides a more holistic approach through which policy makers may address the issue of graduate unemployment by delineating four interrelated axis that impact graduate employment, namely, Reach, Purity of Purpose, Knowledge and Strength of Intention. By doing so the framework facilitates the appraisal of educational spend by intervention type thus highlighting underserved priority areas; allows policy interventions to be evaluated through the tracking of student progress against each axis; and allows policy interventions to be customised at the individual student level to reflect the heterogeneity present between students. The paper therefore provides a fresh perspective for policy makers and institutional leaders to pursue.
