Abstract: The evolving job market necessitates that business school graduates possess strong employability skills alongside academic knowledge. This qualitative study explores the correlation between student engagement and employability skills in business schools through a thematic analysis of existing literature. Using secondary data sources, key themes emerge regarding how engagement strategies enhance employability. A conceptual framework is developed to illustrate the connection between student engagement, employability skills, and academic performance. The findings contribute to business education by highlighting evidence from previous research on practices that improve students' readiness for the workforce. The study underscores the importance of integrating active learning and extracurricular engagement in curricula to enhance career preparedness.
