In view of deteriorating quality of graduates from Nigerian tertiary institutions, this study sought to determine employers’ assessment of management science graduates on key employability skills. The study involves the administration of questionnaires by means of convenience sampling on 680 employers of management science graduates in public and private sectors in Edo/Delta States. T-test and ANOVA were used to analyse data. Notwithstanding the age difference, the result obtained shows that employers rated the graduates of management sciences as slightly ‘fair’. Notably, employers in the private sector rated management graduates higher and more positively than their counterparts in the public sector. Additionally, the employers in the present study described management science graduates as reliable, employable and hardworking. It was recommended that the quality of management science graduates can be improved by placing emphasis on increased funding, infrastructural development, and educator-employer based curriculum which focuses on practical skills, as well as the reactivation of industrial attachment in the Nigerian universities. On the side of the employers, investment in the orientation and training of new entrants into work organization should not be neglected.

“…Technological development might influence the employability skills required. Therefore, people are required to renew their skills in accordance with the demands of the workplace, otherwise, it will be difficult for them to get involved in the desired work/industry [11,14,26,27]. Then, the OECD stated that employability refers to an ability to find a job and adapt to labor market demands [28].…”

The qualified human resources with high competitiveness and employability skills are needed to face the era of technological disruption, but employers find a lack of expertise among job seekers. Insufficient skills are related to the issue of education quality. This study aims to identify the employers’ employability skills needed in the career field and the way to integrate it into the instructional process. The research was conducted through Systematic Literature Review (SLR) and mapping approach that consisted of three stages: planning, conducting, and reporting. The literature reviews in this research were derived from Science direct, Springer and IEEE as the main references. The results from the analysis in the literature review showed that employability skills are needed in relation to the work demands in the future according to the employers covering communication, team working, problem solving, and technological skills. The implementation of employability skills in the instructional process is to integrate them into the classroom for all subjects.

Industrial Revolution 4.0 is an age of digitalization in the production process using digital system. The figure of an ideal mechanical engineering of the industry 4.0 should be able to response all the changing needs of the employability skills according to the market power of the manufacturing industry. Employability skills could be identified as a necessity of graduates in order to compete of competition in the era of the industrial revolution 4.0. The purpose of this study is exploring employability skills from an industry that is considered as the most appropriate for graduates of engineering. Every graduate should have the feasibility of work to identify the concept of theoretical and feasibility models of work, minimizing the skills gap by academics. The literature review found out that the manufacturing industry requires employability skills that suitable for mechanical engineering graduates, including technical skills and generic skills. Technical skills included: mechanical engineering drawing, conventional machining, computer numerical controlled, metal fabrication and welding. Generic skills are: social skills, teamwork, communication, critical thinking, ICT skills, and self-management. The implications of this study is helping mechanical engineering graduates for standardizing and improving their skills by industry and academics.
