Motivation and Aims: Malaysia has made progress in improving access to higher education for Malaysians. However, graduate unemployment in the country is a serious and growing issue that concerns not only graduates who are seeking employment, but policy makers and employers as well. Method and Materials: This paper explored the underlying factors contributing to graduate unemployment in the country and presents the research findings based on a survey that was done in 2019. Key Findings: This study specifically investigated the factors contributing to graduate unemployment based on the perceptions of graduates from both public and private tertiary institutions in the Klang Valley. Policy Implications: Several recommendations are provided in an effort to address the issue of unemployment among graduates.
