Abstract
This article examines the social context of Career Development and Employability (CDE) in academic practice, and proposes an innovative and motivational framework for the development of students’ CDE skills based on the reality TV show, The Apprentice.The research work carried out involved participant observation and face-to-face interviews in order to understand perspectives and perception of career development and employability. The CDE framework is qualitatively and quantitatively evaluated from a sample of 58 participants in the context of the student experience. The student experience was asserted by increasing student motivation and engagement.The method used allows other academic subject disciplines to fit into the CDE frameworks. For example, business studies can adopt the concepts and the components of the frameworks in the respective teaching and learning processes.
