PY - 2020 SP - 135-157 SN - 1750-385X DO - 10.1504/IJMIE.2020.10026013 UR - https://www.inderscience.com/jhome.php?jcode=ijmie AB - Several education theorists advocate a capabilisation model based upon two pillars: professional emancipation and activation for citizenship comprised a balanced delivery of technical and research competences (TRC) and cross-disciplinary competences (CDC). Hence, this research makes a theoretical review of education governance literature and tests the capabilisation at Higher Education Institutions (HEI) in Denmark confined to a subset of educational support infrastructures - academic laboratories (ALs) - to grasp their contribution to HES capabilisation, which constitutes a fairly unexplored research gap. The empirical paradigm consists of an iteration along a purposive sample of 15 HEIs. Results uncover a mismatch among national policies, universities/colleges' governance and firm expectations on graduate's competencies. A capability-gap is acknowledged concerning budgetary expenditure to education versus budgetary efficiency in graduate employment rates (GER); and between firm's capability-requirements (CR) and HES capability-delivery (CD) to the industry. The latter suggests the notion of capability-fitness, which constitutes the micro foundation for the balanced model of higher education student's capabilisation (BHESC) design. ER -
