Abstract
These conference proceedings represent voices of academia, students, employers and labour market on perspectives and issues of graduates’ employability. As the academic world tries to grasp its ways of drawing closer ties of education systems with the real-world labour market, youth unemployment and underemployment has become common across the world especially at times of economic crisis. With 14% of OECD average of youth unemployment (August 2015) and Kazakhstan’s youth unemployment rate of 4.2 % (July, 2015), we are observing more and more debates stressing education policies geared to the labour market and the importance of active labour market policies on both national and international levels.
