IMPACT OF PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT ON EMPLOYABILITY SKILL GAP ANALYSIS AMONG IT SECTOR EMPLOYEES IN CHENNAI

Abstract

The IT business in Chennai has grown rapidly, creating more jobs. A substantial skill gap exists in terms of employability, and many IT specialists fail to satisfy their employers' needs. Technical skills are still crucial, but companies are increasingly prioritizing individuals with soft skills like communication, leadership, cooperation, and adaptability. This research examines how personality development affects career advancement and employment retention to reduce the talent gap. A thorough study of organizational needs, skill gaps, and training efficacy found that systematic personality development programs considerably increase employability. Research suggests that information technology workers with good leadership and interpersonal skills may advance faster, earn more, and have greater job security. The study found that comprehensive soft skill training, academic-business cooperation, and corporate actions are needed to overcome the job gap. Chennai IT professionals can compete in a changing technological environment by fixing these issues.
