Abstract

In Bangladesh, a persistent mismatch exists between the skills fresh graduates possess and the competencies demanded by employers. This gap affects graduate employability and hampers economic growth. This article explores how key components— Program Curriculum Development (PCD), Instructor Portfolio Management (IPM), University Culture and Networking Platform (UCN), and University Facilities (UF)—can collectively address this issue. By integrating these elements into the educational supply chain, universities can produce skilled graduates who are better equipped to meet industry needs. The proposed framework offers a comprehensive approach to align academic outputs with labor market demands. The study highlights the importance of adapting curricula, engaging industry professionals in teaching, fostering strong university-industry connections, and investing in modern facilities to close the skills gap. This holistic approach ensures that graduates are employable, contributing to national development and societal betterment. The article concludes by emphasizing the need for further research on technological advancements and policy reforms to enhance higher education in Bangladesh.

Abstract

This research examines the role of Educational Supply Chain Management (EduSCM) in enhancing graduate employability within Bangladesh's higher education system. Despite significant growth in the number of graduates, a skills gap persists, with many graduates facing underemployment or unemployment due to a mismatch between academic knowledge and industry demands. Through a mixed-methods approach combining qualitative insights from university administrators, faculty, industry professionals, and graduates with quantitative survey data from 300 participants, this study explores how aligning curriculum design, faculty quality, university infrastructure, and industry collaboration can improve graduate preparedness for the workforce. The findings reveal a notable disconnect between academic programs and industry needs, with curriculum relevance, faculty industry experience, and industry collaboration identified as key factors influencing employability. The study proposes actionable recommendations, including curriculum reform, enhanced industry partnerships, faculty development, and infrastructure modernization, to bridge the skills gap and improve the employability of graduates. By applying the EduSCM model, this research provides valuable insights for universities, policymakers, and industry stakeholders to optimize higher education and align it with labor market demands, contributing to Bangladesh’s economic growth and sustainable development.
