The qualified human resources with high competitiveness and employability skills are needed to face the era of technological disruption, but employers find a lack of expertise among job seekers. Insufficient skills are related to the issue of education quality. This study aims to identify the employers’ employability skills needed in the career field and the way to integrate it into the instructional process. The research was conducted through Systematic Literature Review (SLR) and mapping approach that consisted of three stages: planning, conducting, and reporting. The literature reviews in this research were derived from Science direct, Springer and IEEE as the main references. The results from the analysis in the literature review showed that employability skills are needed in relation to the work demands in the future according to the employers covering communication, team working, problem solving, and technological skills. The implementation of employability skills in the instructional process is to integrate them into the classroom for all subjects.

Industrial Revolution 4.0 is an age of digitalization in the production process using digital system. The figure of an ideal mechanical engineering of the industry 4.0 should be able to response all the changing needs of the employability skills according to the market power of the manufacturing industry. Employability skills could be identified as a necessity of graduates in order to compete of competition in the era of the industrial revolution 4.0. The purpose of this study is exploring employability skills from an industry that is considered as the most appropriate for graduates of engineering. Every graduate should have the feasibility of work to identify the concept of theoretical and feasibility models of work, minimizing the skills gap by academics. The literature review found out that the manufacturing industry requires employability skills that suitable for mechanical engineering graduates, including technical skills and generic skills. Technical skills included: mechanical engineering drawing, conventional machining, computer numerical controlled, metal fabrication and welding. Generic skills are: social skills, teamwork, communication, critical thinking, ICT skills, and self-management. The implications of this study is helping mechanical engineering graduates for standardizing and improving their skills by industry and academics.

Methodology: Both quantitative and qualitative data are used in this research study. For this research as a survey questionnaire is used for collecting primary data. Data Collection and analysis methods are adopted wherein the questionnaire is circulated amongst various stakeholders like engineering students, faculty and industry experts in Pune City. Main Findings: A conceptual framework is proposed to identify factors affecting uncertainty in employability and implementation of education 4.0 model aligned with industry 4.0 to overcome these factors for developing existing education is studied here. Applications of this study: Higher and technical educational institutes where every year more students are graduated with a technical education but a large percentage of them are not able to get employment. IT and manufacturing companies found a lack of skills in them and not ready to hire them. An educational institute is failing to fill this gap and more uncertainty in employment has occurred. This research will be helpful to the educational institutes to implement an education 4.0 model to enhance new parameters for restructuring the existing education that would be benefited for students and institutes to meet the requirements of industries.
