Employability skills have become a central concern for higher education institutions amid rapidly evolving labor markets and increasing employer expectations. Accounting education, traditionally focused on technical competencies and compliance-oriented knowledge, is now expected to cultivate a broader set of transferable skills such as communication, critical thinking, teamwork, digital literacy, and ethical judgment. This paper examines how accounting education contributes to employability skills development and identifies pedagogical strategies that enhance graduate readiness for the workplace. Drawing upon human capital theory, employability frameworks, and contemporary accounting education literature, the study proposes an integrated model linking curriculum design, teaching practices, and industry engagement to employability outcomes. The paper highlights challenges faced by educators and institutions and offers practical recommendations for embedding employability skills within accounting curricula. The study contributes to academic and policy debates on graduate employability by emphasizing accounting education’s strategic role in workforce development.
