“…Generasi z merupakan generasi angkatan kerja paling muda yang akan memasuki dunia kerja. Revolusi industri membuat industri kerja berubah secara dramatis dan berbeda dengan industri kerja sebelumnya, sehingga lulusan atau angkatan kerja diharapkan memiliki keterampilan terbaru yang sesuai dengan kebutuhan industri kerja saat ini (Abdullah et al, 2020). Untuk memenuhi keterampilan yang sesuai kebutuhan industri, generasi z sebagai tenaga kerja harus memiliki kesiapan untuk bekerja dengan membekali diri dengan keterampilan dan pengetahuan yang berguna di dunia kerja.…”

“…Kesiapan sekolah yang kurang dalam mengembangkan keterampilan dan keahlian siswa, berakibat pada kurang terserapnya lulusan SMK dalam dunia kerja karena mereka tidak siap baik secara mental dan keterampilan yang mereka miliki. Kesiapan kerja sangat penting diperhatikan oleh lulusan, karena kesiapan dapat dijadikan sebagai prediksi potensial kinerja di masa depan serta untuk pengembangan karir lulusan setelah memasuki dunia kerja (Abdullah et al, 2020).…”

“…It is also important to modify and enhance the education in order to match with the demands of industrial sectors within the context of IR4.0. To fulfil these ideals, educators, especially those in higher learning institutions, play a vital role in training and producing high quality graduates and increase graduates' understanding and readiness by enhancing the teaching and learning (Abdullah et al, 2020).…”

Industrial Revolution (IR) 4.0 refers to the integration of technology within a particular industry, which encompasses big data, data analytics, cloud computing, robots, artificial intelligence, as well as Internet of Things (IoT) technologies. This study aims to assess the understanding of trainee counsellors of IR4.0 future skills, and to investigate how trainee counsellors improve their overall understanding of IR4.0 and its readiness. The qualitative research design employed in this study involved semi-structured interviews. Four trainee counsellors were chosen through convenient sampling and interviewed in 15-20 minute sessions. The findings indicate that trainee counsellors have a strong grasp of IR4.0. The respondents acknowledged, however, that their comprehension of IR4.0 in connection with future counselling professions is only modest, owing to the institution’s lack of formal educational exposure. Consequently, the respondents’ readiness to face IR4.0 is dangerously low, with the majority expressing worry towards their adaptability in future career development. Finally, the study concluded that educational institutions are vital in teaching and equipping students to confront the global challenges presented by IR4.0. This study is important because it aids researchers to analyse information on the understanding, readiness, and effect of IR4.0 on future skills among trainee counsellors. Additionally, it helps educational institutions in recognising the essential role of IR4.0 adoption in teaching and learning, as well as the implementation of the necessary measures to increase the readiness for training counsellors in tackling IR4.0.

“…According to Abdullah, Humaidi and Shahrom, [26]; Potts [27]; Rahmat [12], the current global rise in graduate unemployment can be attributed to the lack of fourth industrial revolution skills and competencies; thus, developing work competencies, paralleled with 4IR challenges, becomes essential. Maria, Shahbodin and Pee, [28] suggested that since the 4IR has increased the demand for highly qualified candidates for jobs, the higher education providers as the producer of skilled human resources need to adjust the way students are trained to close the skill gap.…”

The emerging work context of the fourth industrial revolution (4IR) has increased the industry's calls for future-capable graduates who can demonstrate digital literacy and innovation knowledge, and other behavioural competencies for employability. Gaps between work integrated learning (WIL) and 4IR competencies in driving graduates' transition to the employment of the future exist in the literature. With a structural equation modelling (SEM) approach, this study examines the nexus between WIL, graduate employability, and future job. It further examines whether 4IR skillsets can boost (mediate) the effectiveness of WIL in enhancing graduate employability. With a correlational non-experimental research design, 375 engineering students from two universities in Nigeria were sampled. A composite-based SEM, comprising measurement and structural assessment model, was used to test the hypothesized model, implemented in SmartPLS software version 3.3.3. The instrument's validity and reliability were established through hetero trait – Mono trait ratio and average variance extracted. The structural model analysis rejected three hypotheses, testing direct relationships between WIL, graduate employability, and future job. Findings showed that WIL had a positive and significant relationship with graduate employability, 4IR skillset, and future job. It was established, that the 4IR skillset plays a considerable role and positively mediates the relationship between WIL and graduate employability. The study offers important insights on WIL as a strategy for developing graduate employability to prepare students for employment in the digital era
