| Summary: | The purpose of this research is an analysis amongst public higher education institution (IPTA) and private higher education institution (IPTS) students on the mastery level of generic skills in order to increase the employability. The sample of this study is comprised 386 IPTA and IPTS final semester students and two industrial representatives. Quantitative and qualitative methods were used as a research design by using questionnaire and interview as research instruments. The questionnaire data then was analyzed using descriptive statistical analysis while t-test had been conducted to compare generic skills among IPTA and IPTS students. Overall the finding indicated that IPTA and IPTS students had high awareness towards the importance of generic skills. And, the mastery level of generic skills amongst IPTA and IPTS students were also rather high. Nevertheless, the result shows that there are differences on the mastering of the generic skills between IPTA and IPTS students. Hence, with the hope, the results of the research can help the IPTA and IPTS to ensure the mastery of generic skills amongst students can fulfill the needs of the employee in the industry. |
