Special Issue: Call for Papers

Special Issue description:

In the contemporary global economy, the employability skills are central to the Industry 4.0 induced technological disruptions due to high unemployment specifically among the educated youth. Employment oriented knowledge and skills are vital for productive employment. Employers need skills and abilities in communication, collaboration, problem solving, and critical thinking. Globally, the Industry 4.0 induced technological disruptions are posing to challenges to manufacturing, services, entrepreneurship, finance, transport, education, and labor market.
