Australia has shifted its student mobility agenda since 2014 with a commitment to see learning abroad in the Indo-Pacific region, rather than in traditional destinations such as anglophone countries, as a ‘rite of passage’ for Australian students' future life and career. While there has been rich literature on the impact of outbound student mobility from Australia to anglophone countries, critical inquiry is warranted regarding how Australian students' learning abroad in the Indo-Pacific affects their employability and career directions. This article responds to this paucity in the literature. It is derived from a larger research project, including a survey of 1,362 New Colombo Plan alumni. Unlike dominant conceptualisations of employability focusing largely on the role of disciplinary knowledge and soft skills, this study found affording different perspectives, connections and opportunities and the increased knowledge about the Indo-Pacific have been critical in shaping Australian students' employability and career orientations. The findings of this study provide the empirical base for the development of the concept, ‘employability in context’, which underscores the importance of moving beyond the conventional discourse about employability and taking into account the contextual factors in conceptualising employability.

“环境中的就业能力”:考虑环境因素在通过澳大利亚学生向印太地区流动来重新构想就业能力的重要性
自 2014 年以来,澳大利亚已经改变了学生流动议程,承诺将在印度-太平洋地区而不是传统目的地(如英语国家)的海外学习视为澳大利亚学生未来生活和职业的“成人礼”。尽管有大量关于学生从澳大利亚到英语国家的出境流动的影响的文献,但有必要对澳大利亚学生在印度-太平洋地区的海外学习如何影响他们的就业能力和职业方向进行批判性调查。这篇文章回应了文献中的这种缺乏。它源自一个更大的研究项目,包括对 1,362 名新科伦坡计划校友的调查。与主要关注学科知识和软技能作用的就业能力的主流概念不同,这项研究发现,提供不同的观点、联系和机会以及增加对印度-太平洋地区的了解对于塑造澳大利亚学生的就业能力和职业方向至关重要。本研究的结果为“环境中的就业能力”这一概念的发展提供了经验基础,这强调了超越关于就业能力的传统话语并在概念化就业能力时考虑环境因素的重要性。
