In this study, I identify that about 3.1% of our graduates are unemployed, which is most of them have difficulty in finding a job after they finished studying. Although most of our graduates have great academic and technical result, but they still lack in basic skill as the most required from the employers itself. Hence, in this research I would like to know what are the skills and competencies needed in front getting into the employment world. This study is adopted from the journal of Work-readiness in Fasset sector and the set of questionnaire also been adopted from the journal.
