AB  - As students approach the end of their academic studies in universities, they begin to position themselves in relation to and develop identities around, their future research and employability. They reflect on their personal agency, motivation and personal dispositions in helping them to be assimilated in future labour market. This qualitative study examines students’ perceptions, attitudes and orientations to the labour market and how they begin to make sense of their own futures in the labour market. The issue of being employable from the point of view of students is being integrated into and sustaining positions within, the labour market. This study takes off from an exploration into the holistic context of the student’s social environment and their own personal dispositions that eventually influenced their conceptualization of employability and employability orientation.
