Abstract

Undergraduate students, who are responsible for equipping themselves with the university's guidance, possess a mutual vision in getting well for job preparedness. However, the endeavours are not promising for obtaining employment. This study seeks to develop a solid body of information regarding the elements that contribute to work preparation among undergraduate students through a comprehensive and efficient evaluation of existing literature. A rapid literature review method was employed in selecting the ten relevant articles. The process involved searching articles from two databases using specific keywords. The screening process involved the exclusion criteria, which encompassed studies that focused solely on evaluating the effectiveness of a particular job-related training and samples that were not undergraduate students. The results revealed that the papers were authored by researchers from the United States, China, Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom. The relevant factors discovered were categorised as either environmental, personal, or a combination of both. However, personal factors have received greater emphasis. The findings revealed that it is crucial to encourage individuals' ideas and motives, which are essential for ensuring mental well-being. In addition, the environmental aspects were portrayed as resources, providing opportunities for students to adequately prepare for their profession. However, the degree to which students are job-prepared heavily relies on their awareness of the knowledge they have acquired, enabling them to be self-assured and accountable to both themselves and society. Therefore, it is recommended that universities provide additional programmes that not only prioritise education but also aim to raise awareness of their capabilities.
