The issue of employability graduates in higher education institutions has received<br />

major attention from various parties. This study examines factors that influence<br />

employability graduates of Universiti Malaysia Terengganu (UMT) graduates from<br />

2013 and 2014. The logistical analysis model is used to estimate the impact of<br />

academic achievement, involvement in co-curriculum and language skills, especially<br />

English to the level of employability. The findings show that the involvement of<br />

students in co-curriculum is mainly in association activities. In addition, non-<br />

Bumiputera graduates influence higher levels of employability. The university needs<br />

to focus more on outdoor classroom activities to enhance the confidence of graduates<br />

to face the reality of employment.<br />
