Authentic learning is learning that is constructivist, inquiry-based and has work value. As issues with graduate employability have, in recent years, come to the fore, educators in a range of disciplines are interested in engaging their students in authentic activities that reflect the experiences of real-world practitioners. The purpose of this paper is to share the redevelopment of a postgraduate tourism course using an authentic, problem-based learning approach, and to reflect on the impact this learning approach had on student learning, particularly in relation to contemporary student and workforce needs related to employability. Designed around a focal ‘consultancy project’ with an international partner, the course aims to provide students with a unique opportunity to engage in real-world learning, while facilitating career-relevant activities for students that will help them develop stronger employability skills, including problem-solving, decision making, communication, collaboration, and creativity.

真实的学习是建构主义的、基于探究的并具有工作价值的学习。近年来，随着毕业生就业能力问题的凸显，一系列学科的教育工作者都对让学生参与反映现实世界从业者经验的真实活动感兴趣。本文的目的是分享使用真实的、基于问题的学习方法重新开发研究生旅游课程，并反思这种学习方法对学生学习的影响，特别是与当代学生和劳动力需求相关的就业能力。该课程围绕与国际合作伙伴的重点“咨询项目”设计，旨在为学生提供参与现实世界学习的独特机会，
