| Summary, etc |
Present research was aimed to explore the level of perceived employability,<br/>professional competencies, and career aspirations of postgraduates in Pakistani<br/>universities. The study also examined the relationship among perceived<br/>employability, professional competencies, and career aspirations of postgraduate<br/>students across department in different universities. Furthermore, it was examined the<br/>perceptions of university faculty and employers regarding the perceived<br/>employability, professional competencies, and career aspirations of postgraduates. In<br/>recent years, enrollment in higher education has increased as well as university<br/>graduates. However, the literature indicates that postgraduate students lack required<br/>skills and competencies required for the job. This indicated a gap between education,<br/>professionals, and employability skills of postgraduate students. Therefore, institutes<br/>may be focused on job training to improve the employability skills of graduates and<br/>postgraduates. A mixed- method research (sequential explanatory) was used to target<br/>postgraduates, and heads of the departments from public and private universities, and<br/>employers were selected from public and private organizations. For this purpose,<br/>multistage proportionate random sampling was used, data was collected through<br/>survey and after analysis of the survey results, interview protocols were created to get<br/>the perceptions of postgraduates, employers, and Head of the departments.<br/>Quantitative results reveal that there is significant difference among postgraduates of<br/>public and private universities based on perceived employability, professional<br/>competencies, and career aspirations. Furthermore, difference was also found among<br/>different departments. Professional competencies have significant and positive effect<br/>on perceived employability and career aspirations of postgraduates. On the other side<br/>qualitative results shows that universities are not addressing employability skills and<br/>professional competencies, confirmed by all the participants. Therefore, employers<br/>are not satisfied from the performance of fresh graduates, so there is a need to develop<br/>employability skills and professional competencies in university students suggested<br/>by employers and head of the departments. Additionally, universities should<br/>collaborate with industry to improve professional development of their students, and<br/>these skills and competencies should be included in scheme of studies. It is<br/>recommended that the scheme of the studies must have some practices relevant to the<br/>market demands. Like students‟ can directly visit and experience the relevant<br/>organization and their practical routines to develop their employability skills and<br/>professional competencies according to the job market |
