This article uses the example of Germany to elaborate on the historical development, the current practice, and recent debates on employability. Employability as an outspoken aim of higher education was only established in recent decades due to the introduction of Polytechnics, the expansion of higher education, and the Bologna-Process. Despite the diversity of the higher education sector (e.g., universities; universities of applied science), the assumption of equality means that degrees from any institution are of equal value according to the level of study. As in other countries, German higher education institutions have established measures to improve employability such as changes in the curricula or the establishment of career services. However, challenges remain to measure the employability and the employability outcome of HE. The article concludes that the identification of specific subject-related and transferable skills and competences and their transferability to the labour market remains an ongoing task to increase the employability of graduates in Germany.

评估：作为高等教育成果的就业能力。评估德国高等教育系统的发展

本文以德国为例，阐述就业能力的历史发展、当前实践和近期争论。近几十年来，由于理工学院的引入、高等教育的扩张和博洛尼亚进程，就业能力作为高等教育的一个直言不讳的目标才得以确立。尽管高等教育部门（例如，大学；应用科学大学）存在多样性，但平等假设意味着任何机构的学位根据学习水平具有同等价值。与其他国家一样，德国高等教育机构已经制定了提高就业能力的措施，例如改变课程或建立职业服务。然而，衡量高等教育的就业能力和就业能力结果仍然存在挑战。
