Abstract | This study examined what employers identified and rated as important and satisfactory skills and competencies during the interviews of community college graduates in North Carolina. A replication of the original study conducted by Baird (2016) in the Northeast region of the United States examined graduates from four-year higher education institutions addressed the following two questions: RQ1: What skills and competencies do employers rate as satisfactory for community college graduates during the interview? RQ2: What skills and competencies do employers rate as important for community college graduates during the interview? The theoretical framework aligned with the hiring process and provided a unique context to the research. The theories included the Rational Decision-Making Model, which supported the Decision-Making Theory and the Human Capital Theory. The Important and Satisfactory Skills and Competencies Instrument was used to capture data from the participants. The survey instrument used the Likert scale and supplementary questions for further investigation. The participants were employers who had interviewed community college graduates, and they consisted of hiring managers, personnel, interviewers, and human resources professionals from varied industries. Descriptive Statistics provided the basis to answer the research questions with mean, frequencies, percentages, and standard deviations. This study's results indicated that. although community college graduates are offered opportunities in the workplace after the interview, employers rated importance higher than the satisfaction of community college graduates during the interview.
