Employability Skills Among Graduates: Navigating Connections In The Modern Professional World For Global Employability

Abstract

Having employability skills is essential for graduates to succeed in their professional careers in today's globalized and competitive job market. This research examines the employability abilities of graduates from Indian state and central institutions, with particular emphasis on problem-solving, academic proficiency, professional knowledge, mathematical proficiency, networking proficiency, technical proficiency, and communication proficiency. The study used a mixed-method approach to poll 1600 graduate students from 20 institutions located across ten different Indian states. The results highlight the need of filling in skill gaps to improve graduates' employability globally as they show notable differences in employability abilities among graduates. The report makes suggestions for how educational institutions and legislators can help graduates become more employable, which will ultimately lead to a workforce that is more competitive and skilled.
