Skills self-assessment allows students to identify and reflect on their strengths and weaknesses leading to improved performance. In this research, the authors examine computer science graduates’ self-assessment of skills. The quantitative method was chosen for this study and included 120 graduates from different regions of Kazakhstan. The study aimed at self-assessing the skills of graduates, the correlation between hard and soft skills, and differences based on region and gender. The results show that graduates have a high level of confidence, that there is some correlation in skills and no difference in assessment in regard to region. However, contrary to previous studies, female graduates demonstrate higher confidence than males in their skills. The results of this research can be used to decrease the level of student dropout in computer science, leading to a better level of preparation and attitude among graduates entering the labour market.
