Employability skills are a very significant attribute especially to TVET graduates as it is closely related to career readiness. Nevertheless, many studies have found the gap between TVET graduates’ employability skills with industry needs. Their study found that industries need TVET graduates who possess communication skills, interpersonal skills, critical thinking, problem solving and entrepreneurial skills. However, many studies have found that TVET graduates have problems communicating effectively and lack of self-confidence. Therefore, this qualitative study was conducted to identify the employability skills required by the industry through the perspective of industry experts themselves. The findings of the study found that employability skills needed for TVET graduates are social and communication, technological literacy, teamwork and leadership. Therefore, stakeholders in TVET need to pay attention to this matter by producing TVET graduates who possess employability as required by the industry. Concurrently, the success of this collaboration depends on the strategic and tactical approaches made by TVET institutions and industries.

“…With most of the students exhibiting moderate levels of competence, it would be beneficial to discuss methods to enhance communication skills among students, especially those with low competence levels. First, it should be noted that communication skills are important skills for students both to increase their academic success while they are studying (Ashfaque Ahmad Shah et al, 2020;Mohammed, 2015) and to increase their business success when they enter business life (Kondo et al, 2020;Krishnan et al, 2019;Leal-Costa et al, 2020;Tavakolizadeh et al, 2015). For instance, Leal-Costa et al (2020) highlight the significance of teaching nurse's communication skills, as these skills can help them better manage a variety of stress factors that arise during their daily interactions with patients.…”

“…In many different fields, such as education (Alshalawi, 2022;Malik et al, 2018;Muste, 2016), health (Alhadabi & Karpinski, 2020;Khamis & Geng, 2021;Kondo et al, 2020;Leal-Costa et al, 2020), and business (Krishnan et al, 2019;Ulas & Akinci Vural, 2019), the significance of having strong communication skills is readily apparent. There is a correlation between developing and maintaining excellent communication skills and higher academic success (Mohammed, 2015), greater employability (Clokie & Fourie, 2016), and enhanced leadership abilities (Yuningsih & Mulyana, 2017), all of which contribute to an individual's personal development and professional progression.…”

Communication skills, such as listening, open-mindedness, empathy, and confidence, are essential for personal and professional development and play a significant role in many disciplines, including education, health, and business. Social media, a widely used communication channel, has revolutionized how people interact, and its effects on education and overall social development are significant. The purpose of this study was to determine the level of communication skills possessed by university students and to determine whether these levels are affected by the social media applications that the students use. In this study, there were 407 participants in the sample, with 55.8% (227) female and 44.2% (180) male. Communication skills scale was used to assess the students’ communication skills. Exploratory statistics (mean and standard deviation) were used to determine the participants’ communication skill levels. Bayesian statistics were used to determine how well the data supported the differentiation of communication skill levels based on independent variables. The study revealed that most college students possessed moderate communication skills and disclosed disparities between academic departments, underscoring the need to assess curricula and teaching methods. It also suggested that most social media platforms have little effect on communication skills, with some gender differences observed, emphasizing the significance of addressing these differences to enhance the development of communication skills.

The observation aimed to determine the types of persuasive strategies used in selected UNICEF speakers’ speeches and how they were implemented. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach in its research design. In the data analysis process, the analysis was conducted by describing and interpreting each data point in the form of words or utterances according to the context. A purposive sampling of all facts was used to collect data. In addition, the research used Aristotle’s theory of persuasion as a reference to help understand and analyze the data found from the speech. According to the data analysis, the research discovers 49 data points that utilize persuasive strategies. They employ all of Aristotle’s persuasive strategies to persuade their audience. These are the strategies of ethos, pathos, and logos. In their speeches at the children’s day event, BTS, and David mostly express pathos, while Millie mostly expresses logos. It proves that by expressing their credibility, serving realistic information, and including the hearer’s emotions in their speech, UNICEF speakers intentionally attempt to achieve their purpose.
