Recognizing this as a challenge as well an opportunity, the Twelfth Plan strategy in India hinges on improving the employability of young labor force through skill development and creating high value employment in primary and secondary sectors.The main objective of the present study is to skill map final year graduate and post graduate students towards enhancing employability, who are studying in some selected institutions in Sambalpur and Shillong. Two institutions each are selected opportunistically from Sambalpur and Shillong town respectively which are offering Graduates and Post graduates courses. Within each selected institution respondents are selected by purposive sampling and information regarding enhancing employability is collected through semi structure Questionnaire and Free listing.Findings reveal that 70% of the total respondent from Sambalpur and 60% from Shillong have the desire for Govt executive’s jobs. About 91% of the respondent from Shillong and 80% from Sambalpur expressed about the need of skill enhancement courses for securing a good job. Only 23.5% of the respondent mentioned to have attended skill enhancement trainings and more females has attended such training. Economic status of the respondents can be a detrimental factor in the enhancement of skill.
