Abstract
The employability of business graduates refers to their capability to gain and maintain employment. It encompasses a range of attributes, skills, qualifications, and personal qualities that make individuals desirable to potential employers. In this study, an attempt has been made to find the determinants of employability of fresh business graduates in Bangladesh.
Data has been collected through a snowball sampling technique over the year 2022 using a self-administrated questionnaire from a sample of 385 business graduates of the same batch who completed their graduation at a same time point from different private universities in Bangladesh. Multivariate regression using logistic regression has been performed to identify the determinants. Finally, results show that CGPA, Standard of CV, part-time job experience, computer literacy, English proficiency, involvement with club activities, networking with alums, and job hunting significantly affect the employability of business graduates in Bangladesh.
