- <p>This study examines how international academic mobility contributes to graduate<br>employability by focusing on the competence-based mechanisms through which mobility<br>experiences translate into labour-market advantages. Drawing on data from 214 graduates,<br>the study investigates whether Erasmus mobility participation influences perceived<br>employability through the development of transferable skills, intercultural competence and<br>social capital. A four-factor measurement model was validated using confirmatory factor<br>analysis, followed by mediation analysis using Hayes’ PROCESS Model 4 with 5,000 bootstrap<br>resamples. The results indicate that Erasmus participation is positively associated with<br>perceived employability, with a substantial portion of this relationship explained through<br>competence development pathways. Transferable skills and intercultural competence<br>emerge as the strongest mediating mechanisms, while social capital provides an additional<br>though comparatively modest contribution. These findings support a competence-mediated<br>interpretation of mobility returns and suggest that the employability benefits of international<br>mobility depend on how effectively students translate their experiences into identifiable<br>skills and capabilities. The study contributes to higher education research by clarifying the<br>mechanisms linking mobility experiences to employability outcomes and offers practical<br>implications for universities seeking to design mobility programmes that enhance graduate<br>employability</p>
