Abstract
This book chapter explores the design and implementation of authentic assessments to enhance students' employability skills. It includes a literature review and case study, highlighting the positive outcomes of integrating authentic assessments into academic frameworks. It emphasizes the importance of self-assessment and reflection in improving employability skills, and insights into the theoretical underpinnings and practical implications. This dual strategy enables students to gauge their progress in meeting project deliverables and also encourages self-reflection on individual professional development. By combining theory with real-world experiences, the study demonstrates how authentic assessments can prepare students for the job readiness. It also discusses the five dimensions of authentic assessment and the role of self-awareness in benefiting from these assessments. To ensure valuable work-integrated learning experiences, a structured approach and guidance should be provided. Overall, this approach fosters student self-efficacy in employability skills and job readiness.
