Abstract
This chapter frames university graduates as the talent that flows between higher education institutions and industry. Higher education institutions aim to produce employable graduates, university graduates aim to secure graduate-level employment as part of a sustainable career, and organizations seek to secure graduates as part of the global war for talent and organizational sustainability. The purpose of this chapter is to present an overview of a sustainable career ecosystem through the lens of talent flow and acquisition at the interface between higher education and industry. Future research directions are also provided for bridging the vocational behavior and HRM literature streams, and for practical and policy agendas, via the exploration of existing challenges and associated opportunities.
