Strategies in embedding hospitality students employability skills and employability level

The main purpose of this conceptual paper is to investigate hospitality students' employability skills and level in general. Before looking at those skills and levels, it is also important to look at the strategies or approaches used by the higher learning institutions to embed these important elements to their students. It is important to gauge the hospitality students' performance to ensure the students' employability in the future and towards producing quality hospitality graduates for the industry. The study is also important to improvise the employability skills that the hospitality students have towards the objective of producing employable graduates for the industry. For this reason, students from Faculty of Hotel and Tourism Management will be the population of this study in the future. This will help to ensure the quality of the graduates of UiTM and also as one of the supporting factor for UiTM to achieve its goal in becoming the world class university.
