There is a need for graduates who can quickly adjust and thrive within the current increasingly dynamic project-based workplaces. This paper present the employers' perspectives on the work readiness of project management graduates entering the Australian construction industry. The findings provide valuable insights into employers' perspectives of the work readiness of project management graduates which can serve as feedback to universities to assist in aligning their educational programmes with industry needs.
