Abstract:
This review paper synthesizes a broad spectrum of literature on the integration and assessment of employability and communication skills within higher education. It critically examines how these essential skills are developed across various academic disciplines and identifies significant gaps that may impede the effective transition of graduates into the global workforce. Despite notable advances in educational strategies that enhance communication and other soft skills, such as innovative group video projects and performance-based assessments, disparities in curriculum focus and the absence of a cohesive employability framework are prominent. This paper advocates for the creation of a unified employability framework that transcends disciplinary boundaries and is universally applicable, potentially ensuring that all graduates are equipped to meet the challenges of a dynamically evolving job market. The findings highlight the necessity for curricular reforms that emphasize a balanced development of technical and soft skills through diverse instructional strategies, including case studies, collaborative projects, and interdisciplinary approaches. Future directions for research include longitudinal studies to evaluate the long-term impact of these strategies and the establishment of continuous alumni feedback systems to assess the practical efficacy of curricular innovations. By addressing these gaps, the paper aims to contribute to the enhancement of employability skills training, preparing a workforce capable of adapting to diverse professional environments.
