...good time management, team spirit, a reasonable level of aptitude in English, as well as an awareness and understanding of market and business trends. As the Higher Education Institutes (HEI) is held responsible for producing competent and skilled labor force, the HEI is always facing the demand of producing competent knowledge-based workers from the ICT labor market. Therefore, it is vital for every HEI to provide the essential knowledge, skills and expertise for students to succeed in their work place and meet the future challenges. To ensure that every student is employed, Higher Education Institution (HEI) should consistently update their education system according the employers’ need. Working closely with the industry will help the HEI to identify and close the skill mismatches gap. This raises the concern on the lack of a web based advisory system that can identify the skill gap by facilitating the communication between the HEI and the industry and make the necessary proposal to assist the HEI to revise and update their curriculum in order to close the gap of skills mismatches.

This demands a long term strategic thinking on part of institute and industry while framing curricula and designing programs. Equipping our students with the skills required for industry needs puts the learning function at the centre of the issue. A diagnostic study based on responses of students pursuing post graduate programs in engineering and management has been conducted to propose a strategy to do the needful.

Education and training programmes have been implemented in order to provide ERP specialists and graduates with the required industry relevant ERP competencies. The majority of these education and training programmes utilise large ERP systems for instructional purposes, however users of these systems encounter usability issues whilst learning to use the systems. The use of medium-sized ERP systems has been proposed for educational purposes as they are less complex and easier to learn than large ERP systems. Empirical studies on the usability of ERP systems, particularly for medium-sized ERP systems are limited. This paper reports on empirical research on the usability evaluation of a medium-sized ERP system. The study identified three categories of criteria and 10 criteria which can be used for usability evaluations of medium-sized ERP systems. The criteria were used in a case study to evaluate the usability of a medium-sized ERP system and to obtain qualitative feedback on the usability of the system. The most frequently...
