Abstract: Unemployment is one of the major problems of any country and a challenge due to graduates lacking the required skills and knowledge that employers need. Joblessness rate in Oman arrived at a stagnant state since 2017 at 3.1% (Oman Unemployment Rate-1991-2019 Data, 2019). Every year Oman is producing many graduates, which are lacking in the required skills and knowledge to get suitable job. In this research, we have extracted the jobs and the skills from Oman job portals using RapidMiner, finding more demanding skills in the fields of engineering, information technology and sales, and mapping the skillset with the college outcomes. The research possibly identifies the areas to enhance employability skills and job profiles to meet the job requirements of in Oman. These inputs can further help the concerned authorities decide upon training employable candidates to bridge the gap between employers' expectations and college graduates (Rehman, 2014).
