Abstract
This study explores the implementation of authentic assessment to enhance student employability through participating in interviews with real-world employers. Industry-leading employers conduct mock interviews with students to allow them to sharpen their interview skills and assist in understanding the expectations of prospective employers. A key finding of the study is that students who are equipped with the necessary training for interview skills and career development learning will gain confidence and self-esteem, fitted with both interview and soft skills, hence preparing them for answering interview questions and enabling an environment for students to feel confident in real-world interviews.
