Abstract: Abstract The study is intended to explore the effect of life skills on the job preparedness of private university graduates of the Kanchipuram district. Skill training is required to prepare the young minds for facing the real life challenges.

The students were provided questionnaire to measure the level of employability preparedness with equal importance to problem-solving, decision-making, critical & creative thinking, communication, stress management and emotional intelligence skills. Hierarchical cluster analysis using Agglomeration Schedule was employed to explore the possible number of clusters and then K-means clustering was used to group the students based on the employability level into well prepared and not well prepared. The analysis revealed that the cluster formed as well prepared is 55% of the total 236 students showing the strong positive effect of life skills training on the employability preparedness.
