ABSTRACT

This chapter supports Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) by focusing on developing capabilities through debate, discussion and learning. It supports these Principles because, instead of prescribing boundaries and narrow perspectives, and it encourages the reader to think about sustainability and the links to learning, growth and values, and also employability. The challenge is further illustrated when considering the following quotation attributed to Einstein: 'The world as we have created it is a product of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking.' The chapter deals with ideas and concepts about sustainability, how they are articulated and how the language is used. The focus in the CareerEDGE model is not just on obtaining a job, but also the ability and benefits of enjoying the job. Hence, the focus on the need for both awareness and engagement with issues such as emotional intelligence, career management and development learning and the importance of reflection to employability outcomes.
