Abstract
The
21st-century workforce demands a dynamic set of skills beyond academic
knowledge, including communication, problem-solving, digital literacy,
teamwork, and adaptability. This research assesses the readiness of higher
education graduates to meet these evolving demands. Employing a mixed-method
research approach, data were collected from 250 final-year students across
higher education institutions in Uttarakhand through structured questionnaires
and interviews with 20 industry professionals and faculty members. Results
reveal a moderate level of readiness among graduates, with significant gaps in
soft skills, industry exposure, and digital competencies. The paper recommends
curricular reforms, industry-institution linkages, and enhanced career
readiness programs to bridge the existing gap between academia and industry.
