“…We echo the views of Quigley et al (2023) that "because systemic and contextual factors affect members of various demographic groups in dissimilar ways, the resilience of the career ecosystem is different for individuals based on their social identity" (p. 9). Isopahkala-Bouret et al (2023) also highlight the positionality and inequality in graduate careers. We believe that integrating sustainable career theory and career ecosystem theory into sustainable career ecosystem theory offers a valuable theoretical framework to underpin such further exploration.…”

PurposeDrawing on a theoretical framework of sustainable career ecosystem theory, our paper aims to consider how domestic and international postgraduates can enhance their employability through participation in a landscape of practice.Design/methodology/approachThe study employed an exploratory, longitudinal case study design to capture students' lived experiences on an 18-month Master of Professional Practice course at a higher education institution in New Zealand. The data collection procedure involved field note observations (months 1–4), a focus group (month 13) and narrative frames (months 16–18). The sample was domestic students from New Zealand (n = 2) and international students from Asia (n = 5).FindingsOne’s participation in multiple communities of practice represents their landscape of practice and a commitment to lifewide learning. Through participation in various communities of practice, domestic and international students can enhance their employability in three ways: (1) boundary encounters to develop social capital, (2) transcending contexts to enhance cultural capital, and (3) acknowledging the development of psychological capital and career agency.Originality/valueOur work offers one of the earliest empirical validations of sustainable career ecosystem theory. Expressly, communities of practice represent various contexts whereby employability capital is developed over time. Additionally, the postgraduate students themselves are portrayed as interconnected and interdependent actors, presenting a novel framing of such dependencies at the micro-level of the ecosystem. The practical implications come from informing universities of the value of a landscape of practice to enhance the employability of domestic and international students in preparation for sustainable careers and to promote the sustainability of the career ecosystem.

“…Educated individuals are likely to take advantage of the system and gain better socio-economic status, which causes the uneducated to be pushed away (Ferrare & Phillippo, 2023). The conflict theory looks at the other side of education that sees education as the cause of structural change in society due to the distinction between the educated and the uneducated (Ferrare & Phillippo, 2023;Isopahkala-Bouret et al, 2023).…”

ChatGPT has grown in popularity among educators over the past few months. The way we teach and learn could be completely changed by the implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) technology in schools. Therefore, the main goal of this study is to determine in-depth public perceptions of ChatGPT use in Chinese educational programs, particularly for college students. Moreover, it also aims to examine how using ChatGPT affects writing performances. The foundation of this study is the technology acceptance model and the connectivism learning theory. Mixed methods will be used in questionnaires and in-depth interviews to identify the most prevalent issues with Chat GPT use on the university campus, and to suggest inclusive education initiatives that can support a secure and productive learning environment for WKU students. Besides, 200 respondents, including students, professors, and staff at WKU, will make up the sample. This study is beneficial for professors who teach writing at Wenzhou Kean University because it demonstrates how to use Chat GPT correctly to enhance students' own writing abilities. Furt hermore, the future application of Chat GPT in China's educational system will greatly benefit from the findings of this study.
