Abstract

Employability is a controversial topic, particularly in Danang. Currently, two perspectives believed to enhance employability are academic qualification and working experience. Some people believe that getting many academic diplomas and obtaining higher educational levels are really helpful in strengthening a person’s employability. Meawhile, others think work experiences play more important roles on making a person employable. This study will enlighten the readers about the reality of the discourse on academic qualifications and working experiences and their relationship to employability. The study is confined geographically to Da Nang City – one of Vietnam’s major cities.
