Abstract

Companies look for a variety of qualities in their personnel in addition to technical proficiency. Since a trained staff is essential to a company's success, employers always make an effort to hire only people who possess those talents. But in reality, educational institutions do not provide all of the talents that businesses need. In higher education institutions, students often only obtain between 50 and 60 percent of the necessary abilities. This study intends to identify the skill gap between the supply and demand of industry on the basis of the literature review and emphasize the significance of employability skills in the workplace. Previous research studies indicated crucial employability/soft skills include motivation, problem-solving, decision-making, self-management, and communication abilities.
