Employability is the ability of graduates to secure jobs in the labour market, being
equipped with most of the skills most envisaged by the employer and the ability to
participate and contribute to the knowledge economy by applying what they learned in
higher education and improve their social standing and the country’s economy. Being

Creating enough jobs to meet the increasing numbers of highly educated young
people is a priority of governments. HEIs, on the other hand, have to ensure that they
are producing the right kind of graduates who can meet the demands of employers.
Likewise, industries have to work hand in hand with the governments and HEIs to

developing countries.
We use developed countries as the barometer because with their monopoly over
technologies, they would be the ones dictating the direction and pace of development in
the 21st century. Our students must be able to compete with the best, brightest, and

Education is not only an institution but also a procedure taken place in society.
Education generally seen as foundation of society, which brings economic wealth and
social prosperity. That is why the government must provide the right of all citizens to

primary vehicle, which marginalized children to lift them out of poverty and ignorance,

economic growth.
It is also a public value where we can measure its true worth to society, when
educated individuals perform their various tasks as citizens. Many people want to be
educated and go to universities and their major goal is to be employ in their chosen field
of specialization.
It is the obligation of the teachers to mold his/her students. Teachers are nation
builders- the strength of every profession in our country grows out of knowledge and
skills that teacher helps to instil in our children. Teachers have the capacity to shape the
minds and futures of many and they do so at all kinds of critical life stages. “Ample

One serious problem today is the phenomenon of college graduates not being
able to find jobs that fitted to their chosen fields. Unemployment and underemployment
among graduates are widespread all over the world because of many reasons.
According to the study (M. Tomlimson 2011), there have been some concerted
attacks from industry concerning mismatches in the skills possessed by graduates and
those demanded by employers. Universities have typically charged with failing to instil in
graduates the appropriate skills and dispositions that enable them to add value to the
labour market. The problem has been largely attributable to universities focusing too
rigidly on the academically orientated provision and pedagogy, and not enough on
Moreover, in the study (Will Bartlett et al., 2016), many graduates have a
precarious entry to the labour market and often experience periods of unemployment
before they find stable employment. They emphasize skill mismatch has two
dimensions. The first is horizontal mismatch, which refers to a situation in which the
employee has a qualification in a field of study that is not required by the held. The
second is vertical skill mismatch, which refers to a situation in which an employee has
qualification either above or below the skill level necessary to carry out a job. The
findings of this research project cast a worrying perspective on the ability of higher
education systems to deliver the qualified personnel that needed to support future
economic growth.10
