Abstract


 

As a result of globalization the competition in the industry is very high among the young graduates. The unemployment rate is increasing steadily in the industry. As discussed in literature, Deloitte 2014 Human Capital Trends Report, it stated that talent scarcity is one of the biggest human-related problem for organizations. Management Engineering graduates do not have all the competences that industry need, therefore universities should adapt their curriculum according to industry needs to leverage employability skills of their graduates. Current curriculum mostly based on research and theories rather than practices. In this research specific competences  which are needed by the graduates for being successful in industry are defined and prioritized with the fuzzy AHP method.
