Abstract

The aim of this research was to investigate employers' perspectives on the competence of graduates and their ability to integrate into the workplace. The researchers used a descriptive approach using a survey and relationship study. The research sample was randomly selected from employers in educational and sports institutions and health centers employing (53) graduates. The results were presented, analyzed, and discussed. We concluded that graduates have the ability to adapt to the requirements of the labor market, indicating the potential to improve their employment opportunities. We recommended the need to design specialized training courses aimed at developing graduates' professional and personal skills and expanding employment opportunities.
