A b s trac t
Enhancing Graduate Employability skills is considered as an important task within the Sri Lankan university community. This study was conducted with the objectives of identifying the employer skills needs in different countries, various definitions related to employability skills, previous research done in different countries related to the employability skills requirement and their recommendation. The study is based on a literature survey of educational reports, empirical and theoretical research papers. Studies done in Sri Lanka and in other countries as well as those comparing the inter-country situation are also summarized in this paper. Review findings reveled that skills definitions, employer expectation and requirement differ according to different countries. Employers‟ needs and also the learners‟ skill enhancement capabilities should be taken into account in formulating future skills assessments. This study concludes that universities should identify skill sets that will best serve the future labor market and align programmes to meet those needs.
