Resumen
Purpose- This study aims to examine how individuals' ICT and digital skills, along with the demand for ICT-knowledgeable candidates in the labour market, predict employment in positions requiring ICT skills.Methodology- The study uses a multiple linear stepwise regression. The data is collected from publicly available sources, such as Eurostat (2024), the official online statistical platform of the European Union (EU).Findings - The findings suggest that digital skills and the demand for ICT-skilled graduates in the labour market positively influence employment rates in positions requiring ICT skills. Conversely, graduates' possession of ICT skills has a negative impact on employment.Implications - This study underscores the importance of collaboration among policymakers, higher education institutions, and industry partners to ensure alignment between the demand and supply of digital skills among tertiary education graduates. By addressing this alignment, stakeholders can enhance graduates' employability and better meet industry needs. These findings contribute significantly to the ongoing dialogue surrounding improving higher education to foster graduates' readiness for the workforce.
