This chapter reports a study exploring what Victoria-based universities prepared for their business students’ employability skills. The data collected from websites of four universities of different institutional contexts were analyzed using a content analysis approach. The findings revealed that communication, critical thinking, problem-solving, teamwork, presentation, use of tools, and technology skills were the most common skills that all four universities stated important for the development of their student's human capital. It also indicated that they prepared for their students’ social, cultural, and psychological capital via curricular and extra-curricular activities, including internships, overseas exchange programs, and other activities. It also revealed that these universities helped students shape their career identity by appropriate strategies, such as developing subjects in the curriculum or delivering skills workshops designed to train students in essential career planning and career management skills. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2022.
