Organizations have always been looking for competent employees who can actively achieve organizational goals by adopting technological changes, working with diverse team members, and understanding future workplace requirements. For this purpose, employees must demonstrate the necessary skills required to perform their job tasks. However, employers often grudge about the lack of the prerequisite skills in their employees, for which they blame the inefficient, non-sustainable education system, which fails to develop the relevant industry skills in their graduates. Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) need to address these issues raised by industry professionals. The inevitability of bringing sustainability into employment becomes more significant since the labor market is getting more complex daily due to rapid changes in economies and diverse work environments. To cope with these challenges, employers need a more skilled workforce to cope with these challenges and sustainable employment.
With the current trend of globalization, teaching and learning must acquire a multicultural and interdisciplinary approach to cater to the learning needs of students with multicultural backgrounds, interests, and affiliations. In such a scenario, whether teaching is done in a foreign country or teaching is imparted to foreign students in the home country, there is a need to design and develop such teaching/learning techniques that contribute to the attainment of the desired learning outcomes. For example, specific teaching/learning techniques could be useful when all learners hold homogenous cultural orientations but may not be useful when they represent diverse cultural orientations. This requires prerequisite learning styles at every level of education. Therefore, graduates should possess a broad range of employability skills, compatible with cultural and ethnic differences, which can only be developed through a variety of teaching and learning styles.

The Research Topic is focusing on employment sustainability through teaching and learning styles in an interdisciplinary and multicultural environment. No dearth of studies has paid sufficient attention to highlighting different challenges and difficulties faced by HEIs to equip graduates with necessary employability skills despite many new challenges. The collection will be an exception as it will prioritize issues of sustainability and skills development among university graduates and offer concrete and long-term solutions to HEIs to resolve the employability issues of their graduates and prepare a strong cadre of graduates for the world labor market.

The main objectives of this Research Topic are:

• to understand what types of skills are required in an intercultural and interdisciplinary environment to attain employment sustainability;
• what teaching/learning techniques are appropriate and effective in diverse cultures;
• how teaching/learning techniques can be modified with cultural differences.

We welcome different article types, like original research papers, review papers, skills data sets, and reports on the following themes:

• Globalization and education;
• Corporate university model of education;
• Psychological Barriers and Sustainable employment;
• Personality Traits and employment sustainability;
• Employability Skills;
• Teaching/Learning Techniques in HEIs;
• Cultural Differences in Learning Approaches;
• Perceived employability;
• Graduate employability during the Pandemic;
• Innovation in Teaching/learning techniques;
