Preferred term

employability  

Definition

  • Employability refers to the extent to which an individual has the characteristics that would make it likely that he or she would be hired for a job. Another way of stating it is whether the individual has “marketable skills,” that is, skills that a potential employer would be willing to pay for in the job market.
