Abstract Universities are charged with the primary responsibility of developing human capital that meets the job-market demand in terms of knowledge, skills and competencies. Frontier technologies have emerged and are continuously redefining the job-market environment, leading to dissolving of traditional job roles as we know them while at the same time, generating new jobs types and roles. Although global statistics show a growing state of unemployment, there is equally a significant number of frontier technology-aligned-job opportunities that have been generated but cannot be filled because lack of suitably qualified personnel who fit the job requirements in terms of skills and competencies, an indication of skills-job mismatch in the graduates training. The study sought to investigate the role of frontier technologies in skills-based education towards a future-ready workforce at Alupe University. The study applied qualitative research design where data was collected through interviews and focused group discussion, and analysed by extracting the dominant themes. The results showed that frontier technologies play seven key roles in skills-based education towards future ready workforce. These roles include; equipping graduates with Knowledge, skills and competencies for the new work/job environment and emerging job roles, equipping graduates with skills and competencies that ensure entrepreneurial readiness, and preparing student for expanded global opportunities; in remote jobs and Business Process Outsourcing environments among others. Explicit definition of these roles is a critical in guiding the training of graduates. These roles are defined to ensure that graduates from these programmes are equipped with knowledge, skills and competencies that address the existing challenge of skills-job mismatch.
