Abstract The then Minister for Education, Science and Training requested that the Business, Industry and Higher Education Collaboration Council examine the development, teaching, assessment and reporting of graduate employability skills.  The project was commissioned by the Business, Industry and Higher Education Collaboration Council with funding provided by the Commonwealth Government.  The project was managed by the Australian Industry Group who contracted Precision Consultancy to conduct the research and report on findings.  This report presents the findings of a research consultancy that has been undertaken in order to investigate: a) how universities currently develop and integrate employability skills into their programs of study; b) how universities teach employability skills; c) how universities currently assess students’ employability skills; d) how graduate employability skills might be assessed and reported upon.
