Transferability skills such as communication and teamwork are essential for adapting to a dynamic work environment. High self-efficacy encourages graduates to be more confident and motivated in completing tasks. In conclusion, investment in the development of transferability skills, increasing self-efficacy, and providing relevant training are essential to improving the productivity and performance of vocational education graduates in the hospitality industry.
