Exploring the Dimensions of Employability Skills

Abstract

The modern workplace is characterized by rapid changes in technology, industry practices, and organizational structures, making employability skills crucial. In such a fast-changing competitive job market, individuals with strong employability skills catch the attention of employers. Possessing a specific set of skills and competencies apart from educational qualifications is essential for students to secure employment in this competitive scenario. This skill set varies across countries, leading to the development of diverse frameworks for employability skills, characterized by well-defined skills and attitudes. This paper specifically explores various dimensions of employability skills. The findings presented in this paper are drawn from secondary sources available across different countries and publishers. This manuscript aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the global landscape of employability skills. The results may prove beneficial for future studies, offering clarity in defining employability skills and their dimensions and career progression.
