Some people think that universities should provide graduates with the knowledge and skills needed in the workplace. Others think that the true function of a university should be to give access to knowledge for its own sake, regardless of whether the course is useful to an employer. What, in your opinion, should be the main function of a university?

Some people believe that Universities should provide skills and knowledge which can help them later in their workplace. Few others think that educational institutions should only teach the coursework irrespective of its usability in the industry. In my opinion, Universities should equip students' with adequate skill set.
Firstly
, in this
modern era, many companies are evolved with advanced technologies. In order to cope with such
advancements, it has become a mandatory requirement for employees to update their skills and knowledge pertaining to their field of work. Secondly
, Colleges should also
update their teaching methodologies as per current market needs. They should be able to implement more practical sessions for students to get well versed with their subjects. For instance
, many institutions in the United States of America and Canada offer optional and curriculum practical training in their field of study where students' can work full time in a company during their summer and winter break.
Thirdly
, Universities should have periodic meetings with students' so that they can utilize the platform to raise their concerns. Furthermore
, they should enhance their teaching strategies to include more part time faculties from the industry. For example
, there are many colleges in Europe, offering evening classes where visiting faculties from the companies teach after their work. Finally
, such
approach will be beneficial to both sides to know what is required in the industry and what all changes are needed in their course.
To conclude, it is essential for the educational organizations to provide necessary knowledge and skills for students' which will be useful for their future in their workplace. Also
, Colleges should constantly update their coursework to correlate with market needs. Thus
, by doing so students' will have a better future.Submitted by naveen96ece on
