Abstract:
Adequate employability skills are essential for surviving in this ever expanding professional worlds. Enterprises, higher education institutions, hiring managers, private and professional bodies, and others firmly think that there is a need right now for qualified graduates who are learning quickly and are able to meet the demands and challenges of Industry 4.0. They need graduates who are proficient in their fields, capable of operating flexibly and intelligently across organisational contexts, and responsive to environmental, social, cultural, and technological changes. There is a substantial gap between graduates' employability skill sets and those required by the industry in the context of global organisations, according to various government and non-government employability reports. The job skills and abilities of graduates are examined in this study within the context of higher education in India. Along with educating and stimulating readers, the article also aims to assess innovation in employability skill teaching and learning.
