Abstract: The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 envisions a transformative shift in India’s education system by placing a strong emphasis on skill-based learning, multidisciplinary education, and employability enhancement. Commerce, as a pivotal academic discipline, needs to be recalibrated in alignment with the skill development goals outlined by NEP 2020. This research paper explores the conceptual framework and strategic integration of skill development into the commerce curriculum, evaluates the current gaps, and offers actionable recommendations to align commerce education with the demands of the 21st-century workforce. The paper also reflects on policy implications, pedagogical reforms, industry-academia collaboration, and the role of digital learning in fostering employability through skill integration.
