The use of data mining to predict early employment readiness of students is gaining importance due to the expansion of data production in various industries. This study aims to address the employability issue in Middle Eastern nations by utilizing an Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) data mining technology. The experimental investigation used data from tracer studies conducted by three Jordanian universities, consisting of 22 parameters. Results showed that despite achieving an accuracy of 94% for the graduate dataset, ANFIS exhibited high complexity due to the large number of attributes used. The study has implications for selecting relevant variables and investigating multiple aspects. Data mining has various applications, including classification, clustering, regression, association rule development, and outlier analysis. As data production continues to expand, this study provides insights into the potential use of ANFIS in predicting early employment readiness of students in Middle Eastern nations.
