Recently, graduate employability received greater emphasis as universities strive to the meet one of the critical components of a university's reputation and ranking: graduate outcomes and the ability for graduates to find a job after graduating. Most past studies have explicitly identified various competencies that can enhance the level of employability of graduates which relates to meta competencies. Therefore, this study sets to explore the domains and elements that form the competency-based learning objectives which focuses on enhancing a graduate's employability. Besides describing an authors' understanding of current literature on graduates' competency through critical comparison of dominant views presented in research literature, this paper also highlights the key domain of intercultural competency which could advance the employability of graduates. Finally, this paper proposes a comprehensive conceptual framework for graduate employability, competency-based learning objectives which could potentially guide universities in devising curriculum approaches that prepares graduates for employability. © 2019 Primrose Hall Publishing Group.
