This paper introduces a practical model of graduate employability, designed to be easily understandable and applicable in educational settings. The model, named "The Key to Employability," is developed from existing research and the authors' experience. It aims to bridge the gap between complex scholarly literature and simple descriptive articles, providing a clear and accessible framework for explaining employability to students, parents, and practitioners. The model consists of five essential components: Degree subject knowledge, Generic skills, Emotional intelligence, Career development learning, and Reflection and evaluation. Each component is crucial for enhancing employability, and the model suggests that these elements interact to form a comprehensive framework. The model also includes the "three Ss" (self-efficacy, self-confidence, self-esteem), which are linked to the other components and are vital for achieving higher levels of employability. The authors discuss the limitations of previous models and the need for a more integrated approach. They emphasize the importance of generic skills, emotional intelligence, and career development learning in addition to subject-specific knowledge. The model is intended to be a practical tool for educators, career advisors, and students, and it can be adapted for use at various life stages. Future developments include the creation of a measurement tool based on the "Key to Employability" model, which will help students and practitioners assess and improve their employability. The paper concludes by highlighting the lifelong nature of employability and the ongoing need to adapt the model to changing demands and opportunities.This paper introduces a practical model of graduate employability, designed to be easily understandable and applicable in educational settings.
