Abstract

As unemployment rates have been on the rise over the past few years, Malaysian graduates have had difficulties finding work. The rising unemployment rate is a serious worry since it might harm Malaysia’s educational system’s reputation and, as a result, cause some employers to lose faith in the abilities of our local graduates. Therefore, the issue’s underlying cause requires quick care. This paper examines the employability of university graduates in Malaysia using a self-administered questionnaire, data was collected from 188 undergraduates in Malaysia. The Statistical Package of Social Sciences (SPSS) has been adopted for analyzing the data. This study includes variables such as graduate attributes, employability skills, education level, internship experience, and job mismatch are the main factors affecting the employability of university graduates in Malaysia from an undergraduate’s perspective. This study uses the Model of Employability theory as the theoretical foundation. This research believes that the data collected are of great benefit and value to students, academics, researchers, learning institutions, business organizations, and governments.
