| Summary: | Globalization has significantly led to increased human mobility and intensified competition in the job market. With its large population surplus and a predominantly productive generation, Indonesia also faced this challenge. The article aims to identify strategies for preparing and providing Generation Z with the skills and portfolios demanded by the evolving job market. This research employs two main methods. The first method uses a quantitative paradigm with a questionnaire to measure Generation Z’s self-assessment of their competitiveness derived from the dynamic capabilities framework by Finch et al. The second method implements a qualitative paradigm, employing focus group discussion to provide an in-depth analysis of the identified phenomenon of employability. This research successfully unpacked the integrated dynamic competitiveness of Generation Z, including intellectual, job-specific, personality, and meta-skills resources. These findings are crucial for each university to consider the Generation Z conditions during the work transition. |
