Abstract
The emergence of sport professions entices the pursuit of sports careers. Graduates are expected to possess a broad set of skills. However, there is limited research on the required generic employability skill. To examine generic skills, an inductive qualitative strand on collecting employability skill set data, including job descriptions and associated employability skill sets explanations using the O*NET OnLine database was followed by a deductive quantitative strand on analyzing the corresponding importance scores of the employability skill sets needed across all sport occupations. The Knowledge-Skill-Ability framework was adopted to identify the top 10 most-needed areas across all sport occupations.
