Abstract:
|
Industrial revolution and globalization expect graduates to be skilled and equipped before getting into the workplace. However, engineering graduates often find it hard to explore their career due to their skill deficiencies, as well as low self-belief. In fact, the difficulties graduates face at the entry level of career negatively affects their level of confidence. The present study discusses several employability skill sets from existing studies and proposes a conceptual framework that integrates engineering graduates’ work readiness skills, career self-efficacy and career exploration. More specifically, the objective of this study is to conceptualize the interrelationship between work readiness skills, career self-efficacy and career exploration. Recommendations for future research are also proposed.
Key words: Career exploration, career self-efficacy, work readiness skills, , , ,
