upon graduation.

This

inability has caused fresh graduates to take up job offers in another/entirely different field and some are even forced to accept below graduate level jobs. In my opinion, the root of

this

problem lies in the outdated higher education system that should be modernised. One obvious point that resulted in graduates not being able to get jobs in their respective field is that the traditional education does not prepare students for their

first

job for a number of reasons. One of them is that many programmes are too theoretical, highly educated graduates lack simple skills required for employment.

such

as business, law and management and do not admit enough students for engineering and science programmes.
