As the producers of skilled labour for the private sector, private higher education institutions (PHEIs), need to facilitate the transformation of assessments focused on developing 21st century skills competencies in students. In preparing for Industry 4.0, the private sector in Malaysia is concerned about fresh graduates not being adequately skilled for the workplace. The gap can lead to unemployment and a shortage in skilled labour. This research is designed to understand the challenges in transforming assessments to address the 21st century skills gap. Based on an epistemological belief through a social constructivist interpretive framework, a case study approach is used to co-construct the reality shaped by the course lecturers’ experiences. Based on purposeful sampling, two (2) business lecturers with over five (5) years of teaching experience, and familiar with the diploma standards were selected from the School of Business. Data was collected using semi-structured interviews, document reviews and audiovisual materials. A data analysis strategy of reducing codes to themes and identifying patterned regularities was used to produce a written report. The findings reveal the challenges faced by lecturers in transforming assessments to develop 21st century skills. The recommendation is for assessments to be transformed based on private sector skill needs to keep up with the changing work skills demands of Industry 4.0. Continuous initiatives in shared value partnerships with the private sector will ensure that the development of 21CS remains relevant.  \nKeywords: Pre-university business lecturers, 21st century skills, Private sector partnership, Transforming assessments.  \nFunding: This study received no specific financial support.  \nCompeting Interests: The author declares that there are no conflicts of interests regarding the publication of this paper.  \nTransparency: The author confirms that the manuscript is an honest, accurate, and transparent account of the study was reported; that no vital features of the study have been omitted; and that any discrepancies from the study as planned have been explained.  \nEthical: This study follows all ethical practices during writing.  \nContents  \n1.
