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 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. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2024.
