An ABSK Model for Competency-Based Appraisal of Management Professional’s Reinforcement

Modernization and knowledge are the two most fundamental hurdles to developing new technologies for society. Only by gaining the skills necessary to mitigate the impending challenges and technological demands of Industry 5.0 can it be guaranteed that innovation will be created during the real sprint. When confronted with and resolving global challenges, individuals must learn the necessary facts, skills, morals, and attitudes to live productive lives, make informed decisions, and contribute locally and internationally through education. Technological advancement has also impacted pedagogical and academic standards to the point where curriculum designers must be vigilant to provide students with abilities that meet market expectations. This paper aims to identify the disparities between the perceived skillset and students’ competence regarding employability skills. The data demonstrate considerable variances in the perceived value of teamwork, leadership, and essential, technical, and ethical skills. Furthermore, the study's findings indicate that the students believe they are not provided enough exposure to develop such abilities. Graduates must have twenty-first-century skills such as problem-solving and analytic thinking, decision-making, organization and time management, risk-taking, and communication. The findings inform curriculum developers and policymakers about the necessary interventions that should be implemented to improve graduates’ employability abilities.
