摘要:Employability of graduates is dependent on the graduates’ possession of relevant academic qualifications, skills and other attributes needed by the industry. The purpose of this research is to identify the gap between important attributes that graduates of Higher Education Institutions should exhibit and their actual performance when they are employed in industry. The dimensions of the attributes and the performance of these graduates are considered in four broad areas, namely knowledge, skills, abilities and personality. The results show that graduate performance has failed to meet managers’ perceptions of the attributes that should be possessed by these graduates.
