Tertiary curricula in China are moving from purely knowledge-based outcomes to a place a greater emphasis on skill-based outcomes, with the objective of developing competencies that suit employer expectations. This seminar presents the findings of a research project which aims to: 1) explore competencies required in a work force and examine employer perceptions of the existing literature for competencies; and 2) empirically test the influence of Sustainability Scholarship on non-technical competencies in the workforce. The underlying competencies regarding sustainability influence the bigger picture within firms for attaining sustainability.
