Introduction

In a world where knowledge is a criticalelement for nations to prosper and compete,excellence is based on the quality andrelevance of education and how it can ensurethat graduates have the knowledge, skills,attitudes, and values that industries need.

The changing nature of work environments,

Introduction

The real problem of our country is not totallyunemployment, but the inability to generatequali!ed graduates to !ll in the needed supply

in the -ob market, and the Information Technology $IT% graduates is no exception inthe increasing trend to the mismatch ofeducation output and industry needs $/sian&evelopment 0ank, 2**+%.

Thus, the study will evaluate the employabilitydeterminants of Information Technology'raduates, if the skills and competenciesacquired from "#Is match or !t those requiredby businesses andor software industries.

7igni!cance of the 7tudy

This study is going to be signi!cant to the following, so that they will understand the role andimpact on the preparedness of Information Technology graduates in respect to their -obresponsibilities@

3nstitutional +0ecuti%es. This study will give them impetus and insights on the role oftechnology in their institutions, thereby, reali(e and understand the multifaceted nature andmanagement of technology in education and prepare students to make them employableand meet the demands of the industry.

The 3T =aculty. This study hopes to enhance them to understand the conditions underwhich they work and aid their e?orts to make the best uses of technology in their classrooms,laboratories, and oCces. 5nly with these e?orts can faculty defend against technologiesthreats to high quality teaching, academic freedom and supportive working environments.

The 3T >raduates. Through the use of advanced technology, interactive learning does notonly take place which can simulate students to think, get motivated and involved inenhancing their learning and problemsolving skills, but also will have access to high qualityeducation including workstations, online learning, rich interactive information resources,excellent books and custompublished materials. These collaborative work challenges them to

use the rich information resources available that meet their individual learning needs,abilities, preferences, and interests thus making them quali!ed for any -ob positions that areavailable in the industry based on their college degrees earned.

'ta)eholders(+mployers This study will enable the employers to assess the employabilityand preparedness of information technology graduates to perform work responsibilities visa vis their related IT course !nished in tertiary education to meet the business andor industryneeds.

The Other ?esearchers. This study will enrich the dearth of studies on graduatesemployability and -ob preparedness of graduates to meet the challenging needs of theindustry.
