      ab: The surveying profession has proven its value in the current era of development, as it offers services that generate, enhance, preserve, and protect valuable property and assets. Despite increasing attention, surveying education seems to be falling behind in meeting the demands of the construction industry by producing graduates with essential employability skills. Only a few studies have attempted to review the employability skills expected by employers from surveyor graduates. Therefore, this systematic review aims to identify essential elements of employability skills for surveyor graduates. The preparation of this review follows the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis) review method. A total of 25 related studies were obtained from three databases: Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar. The findings revealed that the most crucial employability skills expected from surveyor graduates are communication skills (functional work skills), leadership skills (functional work skills), teamwork skills (functional work skills), critical thinking skills (cognitive skills), and emotional intelligence (personal and entrepreneurial skills). Surveying education should consider incorporating these identified skill sets into their curriculum and training modules to ensure the employability and readiness of graduates for the workforce.
