English Abstract

The research aims to study the problem of the graduate perception for the skills required by the labor market in the Palestinian society, and find out the effect of this problem on the graduates in term of facilitating their employment generation.

The study used the analytical descriptive methodology and used a questionnaire distributed to a sample consisting of (100) employees who graduated since 2008 from the Gazan academic organizations.

Using the Statistical Package for Social Studies program (SPSS), the results of the study found out that there is a significant relationship between graduates‟ perception for the skills required by the labor market from one hand and the quality of the academic institutions, the level of graduates‟ skills, the nature of labor market, the delivered training courses and the graduates‟ educational and practical awareness on the other hand.

However, there are no significant differences among the respondents' answers regarding the level of the graduates' perception of the required market skills due to sex, professional experience, university, and the academic specialization.

The study recommended that more training applications should be inserted in the maximum number of the academic courses.
