摘要
Graduate skills and employability discussions have continued to be a contentious issue for both - Universities and employers. The concerns of industry employers stem from their inability to acquire graduates with the requisite skills and competencies to effectively solve arising industry problems. This concern has led employers to cast blames on Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), who they feel are responsible for the development of skills which employers continuously seek from fresh graduates, more so when the current pandemic has kind of induced leaner organizations, work from home situations and stressful work environments. This paper capsules the various evolving skills that are mandated as an outcome of how this pandemic and other crisis situation at one point or the other has impacted industry and marketplace as a whole. It further identifies the present approaches of Universities and employers to develop/harness the required skills among fresh graduates. The purpose of this study is to report the shift that Universities and employers must make in their approach in order to establish sustainable systems and methods that shall yield desired results despite any uncertainties.
