[Available at:https://www.researchgate.net/publication/288855396_A_dynamic_capabilities_view_of_employability]In this article authors' main purpose was to show the increasing demand for educationand students' issues of capturing employability resources after graduation from universities. Theauthors showed a similarity between organisations’ dynamic capabilities and students' life aftergraduation. Students' can use similar principles to be competitive in a job market like resourcesand dynamic capabilities. In this article, authors did extensive research of existing HRmanagement to develop about conceptual framework of dynamic capability of employment. Inorder to design the employability model of dynamic capabilities, authors conducted 26 face-to-face interviews with university graduates. In addition, authors have taken help from manyexperimental types of research. The findings of the research are mainly four factors that thestudents must possess. These four resources are meta-skill, job-specific, personality andintellectuality. The dynamic capability has value for each of the resources for the students and inthe real world, students can get value from these. However, this research has one limitation as itis exploratory study and it is designed for future use as an empirical study. This study suggeststhat university graduates students can take competitive advantage strategy that they can reflectthrough their learned and intrinsic resources. This research also provides a view about extendingthe boundary of learning beyond the classrooms and students have to take training for thebetterment of employability skills.
