Abstract

The proposed Edutech platform bridges academic learning and industry needs through integrated modules for career development, company-specific materials, and placement coordination. Unlike fragmented systems that separate learning, guidance, and recruitment activities, the proposed platform demonstrates how technology can function as an enabling educational infrastructure that aligns academic practices with societal and labor market needs. The platform provides improvements in transparency, coordination, and accessibility, indicating that employability depends not only on curriculum design but also on how educational processes are digitally structured and supported. From an educational technology perspective, the platform promotes learner-centered and practice-oriented education by providing continuous access to career-related resources and structured interaction with industry stakeholders, supporting authentic learning experiences. Furthermore, the platform enhances institutional efficiency by reducing administrative fragmentation and strengthening industry–academia collaboration. The design demonstrates that integrated Edutech platforms can play a strategic role in addressing employability challenges in higher education while contributing to broader societal goals related to workforce readiness and sustainable education systems.

Conclusion

This study addressed the growing challenge of graduate employability by proposing an integrated Edutech platform that aligns academic learning, career development, and industry engagement within a unified digital environment. The findings demonstrate that embedding employability support within educational systems can improve institutional coordination, enhance student readiness for the labor market, and strengthen industry–academia collaboration. By positioning technology as an enabling educational infrastructure rather than a standalone tool, the study contributes to educational technology research and highlights its relevance to broader societal workforce needs. The proposed platform underscores the potential of Edutech solutions to support sustainable, employability-focused higher education.
