Abstrakt: While the rapid development of the information technology / computer industry has greatly promoted economic development, Chinese IT companies put forward higher requirements for employment standard and employability of computer major graduates. Existing studies on the employability indicators have placed a strong focus on the soft skill requirements such as time management, teamwork and so on. This research proposed an extended IT-specific employability indicator model by adopting soft skill indicators and further including professional IT skill indicators. By using the Delphi questionnaire method, this research conducted the survey with IT companies and technical personnel. The research outcome suggests that the IT industry indeed placed an equal focus on both the soft and professional skills. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
