Re-imagining future practice of Employability: Universities as Living Learning Laboratories for the future
Living – engaging students in current, complex (wicked) problems
Aim of university is to engage students in learning to develop wisdom
Purpose of university is to encourage students to wonder
Process of learning is to enable students to wander down knowledge paths

Learning – enable students to build on current knowledge to build a better future
Repurpose – recognise past good practice
Reuse – reflect on future needs
Recycle – remake future of employment opportunities

Laboratory – safe environment to take risks
Experiment – establish partnerships to break boundaries and silos
Mutual participation – inside – out university brings outside in (PbL)
Outcome – wellbeing of people and planet
