Bridging the Gap: Challenges in Employability for Commerce Graduates

Sanitha Kunjumon George  & Hema Ganesh Prasad

Employability is the collection of abilities, skills, and information that help someone find and keep a job. It includes both technical proficiency and employable soft skills like problem-solving and communication. The increasing number of commerce graduates in the job market has highlighted several challenges in securing employment. Despite having academic qualifications, many graduates struggle to meet employers' expectations due to a lack of relevant skills and practical experience. This study evaluates the challenges faced by commerce graduates in employability (job obtainment). The technique used in the study is one sample t-test. The findings of the study indicated that Skill gap, Poor Soft Skills, Less Confidence in Interviews, Inability to Adapt to Changing Job Roles, and Fear of Taking Initiative are low impact challenges, whereas, Lack of Practical Experience, Intense Competition, Limited Industry-Specific Training, Insufficient Networking, Lack of Technology skills, Over-Reliance on Academic Degrees, and Limited Digital & IT Knowledge are high impact challenges faced by commerce graduates in employability (Job obtainment).
