Summary

Introduction

Malaysia is a developing country and needs to compete in a global era to achieve a developed nation level ahead of Vision 2020. Employees who are required to meet the needs of employers and the industrial sector are academically and technically qualified but include the mastery of other skills such as problem solving skills, critical thinking skills and creative, technological use and communication skills. The statement by AC Nielsen (ACNielsen, 2000) found that employers are more concerned with creative skills, natural abilities, communication, problem solving and group collaboration in finding potential employees. The impact of global developments on the industry and the sectors of employment reflects the increasing demand for labor that is qualified and knowledgeable, but the mastery of employment skills and the use of information and communications technology is emphasized (Mohamad et al, 2009). With the upsurge in demand for highly knowledgeable and highly skilled workforce affects the increased competition among graduates to obtain a suitable place in the employment sector.
