Abstract

In the present era of technological disruption, employers perceive a deficiency of competitiveness and employability skills among the job aspirants. Insufficient skills are considered an important issue of quality of education. This study investigated the relationship between mindfulness and employability skills of a non-probability sample of 185 students enrolled in BTech (Computer Science) degree programs in different engineering colleges of Haryana. A quantitative survey research design was used to achieve the objective. Multiple regression analyses found that mindfulness contributes significantly to explaining its relationship with participant's employability skill scores. The paper concludes by offering several positive outcomes of mindfulness and hence suggesting IT institutions to have a holistic approach towards the employability of the aspirants and to consider mindfulness as a key ingredient in framing the minds of job seekers preparing for the world of work.
