Abstract
To understand the demands of the modern labor market, this study focuses on the marketability of graduates from programs that mix multimedia with Quranic studies. These programs combine multimedia as a minor with Quranic studies as a major. Nonetheless, concerns remain over the program's applicability in light of the quickly changing technology landscape and the graduates' capacity to use their education to their advantage in the workplace. This study examines the employment situation of USIM graduates in multimedia Quranic studies for the academic years 2017, 2018, and 2019. Evaluate graduates' opinions regarding the program's suitability in fulfilling the labor market demands and any barriers they see to improving their marketability. The study uses a quantitative research design to gather information from 330 former students who obtained a Bachelor of Quranic Studies with a Multimedia degree. The results show that 77.2% of graduates have jobs, which suggests that marketability skills are on the rise. With only 5.6% of graduates still unemployed, graduates have a great understanding of the demands of the labor market and a proactive approach to enhancing their abilities. The biggest impediment to developing marketable skills is financial, with 90% of graduates stating this as a reason for not enrolling in outside training or courses. To sum up, graduates of the Quranic Studies with Multimedia curriculum are in demand for employment and have a market worth to the businesses. Notwithstanding the difficulties from restricted resources and information exposure, the graduates desire to improve their abilities, underscoring the significance of a well-rounded education that integrates naqli and aqli knowledge. These results provide insight into the success of this integration and the graduates' preparedness for the demands of the contemporary labor market.
