Abstract: Abstract Education has long been considered a means of achieving labour market success. Most students enrol in a business programme, hoping that they will be able to find a better job after graduation. However, studies have also shown that most graduates still need to find employment in their field of study. This raises the question of what institutional arrangements are in place in a country’s educational landscape that aids labour market success. This chapter analysed the curricula of business school programmes to explore how they relate to the demand for labour. Iannelle and Raffe’s (J Educ Work 21(4):277–296, 2008) transition systems are used as a theoretical framework for this exploration to see whether the education or employment logic dominates business schools in Pakistan. Data are collected from secondary sources.
