Currently, 7 batches have already graduated from nautical course at UMT but there
is no specific study regarding the employability of graduates among them. So, the
aims of this study is to specifically study on their professions and working areas and
to provide a proper documented record for alumni. Besides, the suggested
recommendation also have been presented to improve the employability skill among
students. Quantitative method which is correlational method and statistical method
is been used using SPSS Statistic. The idea is first to find out the relation of batches
and their preference of profession and working areas, and also to find out the
employability skills actually needed in maritime industry which causing some of the
alumni to choose different career once graduated. Based on the data collected, a
recommendation are made to improve the nautical courses for future.
