This study have highlight five independence variable for skill namely Fundamental general skills, engineering skills, interpersonal skills, behavioral skills, adaptive skills and self emot ional intelligence skills. The result from this study have reveal that fundamental general skills and Engineering Skills are the most important skill for engineering graduate employability. It is found that fundamental general skill (FGS)(B=0.330, p=0.00 0) and engineering skills (EgS)(B 0.286, p=0.000) are the most important and essential skills for engineering graduates employability. Hopefully the results fr om this study offer an important practical implication for engineering graduates to be success in employability with the necessary skill equip to engineering graduates. It is hope with this data also, it can be an essential reference for engineering graduates to prepare them self to enter the workin g environment at today challenging economic and situa tion. This study have use Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) software version 22.0 to extract the data needed for this study.
