Graduate employability remains a critical concern for higher education institutions, policymakers, and employers alike. This study explores the key determinants influencing the employability of graduates from Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia (USIM). Using a mixed-methods approach that combines quantitative survey data and qualitative interviews with graduates, employers, and academic staff, the research identifies factors such as communication skills, work experience, academic performance, soft skills, and alignment of curriculum with industry needs as significant contributors to employability outcomes. The study also examines the role of Islamic values and character development as distinctive attributes promoted by USIM. Findings suggest that while technical and academic competencies are essential, holistic graduate attributes and industry engagement play a pivotal role in enhancing employability. Recommendations are offered to strengthen institutional strategies aimed at bridging the gap between education and employment in the Malaysian context.
