Drawing on 15 qualitative interviews with managers and HR professionals across industries, this study explores how private sector employers navigate and justify hiring humanities graduates \u2013 a group often perceived as \u201cuntypical\u201d and endowed with degrees of uncertain labour market value. These hiring decisions serve as a lens for examining how employers construct the value and mandate of higher education more broadly. Rather than framing employability as an issue of individual skill deficits or social closure, I conceptualise it as a problem of coordination and as a co-production of graduates, HEIs, and employers. This perspective shifts focus from what graduates bring to the table to how employers construct, recognise, and negotiate graduate value. Drawing on the sociology of conventions (Diaz-Bone, 2018; Boltanski and Th\u00e9venot, 2006; Eymard-Duvernay and Marchal, 1997), it highlights how hiring decisions and the warranting of graduate capitals (Tomlinson, 2017) are embedded in shared cultural frameworks of evaluation and justification that are referred to as conventions. The analysis develops a framework of multiple vocabularies of valuation, offering a basis for further exploration in international HE contexts. Beyond evaluations of graduates\u2019 human capital (industrial convention) and competitive skills advantage (market convention), four additional conventions emerge: the domestic (trust and similarity), interaction (discursive performance), inspiration (originality and \u201ctalent\u201d), and network (\u201cfuture skills\u201d) conventions. These alternative valuation logics shape employers\u2019 hirings of untypical candidates, indicating fertile ground for HEIs to develop employability strategies that engage employers beyond skills framings. The findings indicate that HEIs do not operate within a straightforward skills market, but rather within communicative arenas of selection that are epistemologically complex. A conventions-based approach to employability could open new pathways for positioning graduate outcomes within employer engagement, policy, and institutional discourse. The framework can be further tested across national contexts to examine how employers negotiate graduate value within different HE landscapes. This talk will explore how integrating graduate capitals with the sociology of conventions can provide fresh insights into employer decision-making, contributing to graduate employability research and practice. It will also present first ideas from an in-progress chapter that considers the affordances and limitations of HEI activities in light of these results.<\/p>\n<p>\u25a0\u30d7\u30ed\u30b0\u30e9\u30e0\uff1a<br \/>14:00 &#8211; 14:05 \u3000\u30a4\u30f3\u30c8\u30ed\u30c0\u30af\u30b7\u30e7\u30f3\uff08\u91d1\u3000\u826f\u5584\uff09<br \/>14:05 &#8211; 14:40\u3000 \u8b1b\u6f14 \uff08\u30ec\u30ca\u30fb\u30cb\u30e5\u30d2\u30bf\u30fc\uff09<br \/>14:40 &#8211; 14:50 \u3000\u30c7\u30a3\u30b9\u30ab\u30c3\u30b7\u30e7\u30f3 (\u674e\u3000\u6615)<br \/>14:50 &#8211; 15:10 \u3000Q &amp; A<br \/><br \/>\u25a0\u305d\u306e\u4ed6\uff1a<br \/>\u30fb\u53c2\u52a0\u8cbb\u306f\u7121\u6599\u3067\u3059\u3002\uff08\u7533\u3057\u8fbc\u307f\u7de0\u5207\uff1a4\u670816 \u65e5\uff08\u6c34\uff09\u6b63\u5348\uff09<br \/>\u30fb\u672c\u30bb\u30df\u30ca\u30fc\u306b\u3064\u3044\u3066\u306f\u3001\u30a6\u30a7\u30d6\u4f1a\u8b70\u30b7\u30b9\u30c6\u30e0\uff08Zoom\u30df\u30fc\u30c6\u30a3\u30f3\u30b0\u3092\u4e88\u5b9a\uff09\u3092\u4f7f\u7528\u3057\u3066\u5b9f\u65bd\u3044\u305f\u3057\u307e\u3059\u3002<br \/>\u3000\u958b\u50ac\u6642\u523b\u307e\u3067\u306b\u30a4\u30f3\u30bf\u30fc\u30cd\u30c3\u30c8\u74b0\u5883\u3001PC\u7b49\u7aef\u672b\uff08Web\u30ab\u30e1\u30e9\u3001\u30de\u30a4\u30af\u304c\u5fc5\u8981\uff09\u306e\u3054\u7528\u610f\u3092\u304a\u9858\u3044\u3044\u305f\u3057\u307e\u3059\u3002<br \/>\u30fbZoom\u306b\u30ed\u30b0\u30a4\u30f3\u3059\u308b\u6642\u306b\u306f\u3001ID\u306b\u59d3\u540d\u3092\u4f7f\u7528\u3057\u3066\u304f\u3060\u3055\u3044\u3002<br \/>\u3000\u53c2\u52a0\u7533\u3057\u8fbc\u307f\u767b\u9332\u8005\u306e\u304a\u540d\u524d\u3068\u9055\u3046\u5834\u5408\u3001\u5165\u5ba4\u3092\u8a31\u53ef\u3055\u308c\u306a\u3044\u5834\u5408\u304c\u3054\u3056\u3044\u307e\u3059\u3002<br \/>\u30fb\u5404\u81ea\u306e\uff30\uff23\u6a5f\u80fd\u7b49\u306b\u3088\u308a\u9332\u753b\u3055\u308c\u305f\u52d5\u753b\u306e\u516c\u958b\u306f\u8a31\u53ef\u3055\u308c\u3066\u304a\u308a\u307e\u305b\u3093\u306e\u3067\u3054\u7559\u610f\u304f\u3060\u3055\u3044\u3002<br \/>\u30fb\u524d\u65e5\u307e\u3067\u306b\u53c2\u52a0\u65b9\u6cd5\u306e\u30e1\u30fc\u30eb\u304c\u5c4a\u304b\u306a\u3044\u5834\u5408\u306f\u3001\u4e0b\u8a18\u30a2\u30c9\u30ec\u30b9\u307e\u3067\u304a\u554f\u5408\u305b\u304f\u3060\u3055\u3044\u3002<\/p>\n<p>\u3000\u3000\u9ad8\u7b49\u6559\u80b2\u7814\u7a76\u958b\u767a\u30bb\u30f3\u30bf\u30fc &lt;k-kokyo(at)office.hiroshima-u.ac.jp&gt;<br \/>\u3000\u3000(at)\u3092@\u306b\u7f6e\u304d\u63db\u3048\u3066\u304f\u3060\u3055\u3044\u3002<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2605\u7533\u3057\u8fbc\u307f\u3092\u7de0\u3081\u5207\u308a\u307e\u3057\u305f \u4e0b\u8a18\u306e\u901a\u308a\u3001\u516c\u958b\u7814\u7a76\u4f1a\u3092\u958b\u50ac\u3057\u307e\u3059\u306e\u3067\u3001\u3054\u6848\u5185\u3044\u305f\u3057\u307e\u3059\u3002\u95a2\u5fc3\u306e\u3042\u308b\u65b9\u306f\u3001\u4e0b\u8a18\u30d5\u30a9\u30fc\u30e0\u3088\u308a\u304a\u7533\u8fbc\u307f\u304f\u3060\u3055\u3044\u3002 \u25a0\u65e5\u6642\uff1a2025\u5e744\u670817\u65e5\uff08\u6728\uff0914:00\uff5e15:10 \u25a0\u5834\u6240\uff1a\u5bfe\u9762+\u30aa\u30f3\u30e9\u30a4\u30f3\u5f62\u5f0f\uff08Zoom\uff09\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u5e83\u5cf6\u5927\u5b66\u9ad8\u7b49\u6559\u80b2\u7814\u7a76\u958b\u767a\u30bb\u30f3\u30bf\u30fc\u6388\u696d\u7814\u7a76\u958b\u767a\u5ba4\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u203b\u304a\u7533\u8fbc\u307f\u3055\u308c\u305f\u65b9\u306b\u306f\u53c2\u52a0\u7528URL\u3092\u524d\u65e5\u307e\u3067\u306b\u3054\u9023\u7d61\u3044\u305f\u3057\u307e\u3059\u3002\u3000\u25a0\u30c6\u30fc\u30de\uff1aWho decides what counts?
