Abstract
A competitive job market requires higher education institutions to carefully update curriculums and explore new possibilities of technology-related education. In spite of the reforms in education systems, there is still a gap between the skills that the job market expects and the skill set of new graduates (Hinchliffe and Jolly 2011). This gap fertilizes a rising risk of increased unemployment among early graduates (Nghia 2018; Tan et al. 2017).
