Many university graduates cannot find a job in their chosen profession. What factors may have caused this situation and what, in your opinion, should be done about it? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience. Write at least 250 words.

The 20th century has evolved with various phenomena

such

as, the IT, and industrial revolution, because of these developments there is a huge demand for skilled manpower.

On the other hand

, the courses, that are being offered by the universities are not revised since

last

20 years;

therefore

, most of the educated graduates are not able to grab a desired job, as per their skills. The essay will outline the reasons for

such

precarious situation, and the remedy to overcome

such

situation. One of the prominent reasons for

such

an unemployment is that the curriculum offered by the universities has not been updated to match the recent developments in the industry.

In other words

, the academic institutes are still teaching the basic level courses;

in addition

to

this

, there is no professional

certification

course,

such

as Python, Java as part of syllabus;

consequently

, the companies do not hire the fresh pass out students. The University of Technology, Auckland,

for instance

, has not revised their courses since 1975, and during

this

year placements drive only 10% of the total students were hired, and the feedback given by the visiting companies was to revise the study modules.

Moreover

, the professors are

also

not upgrading themselves with the latest developments, because they have to teach the same subjects, thereby students are not aware of the latest advancements in the modern world. The most suitable method to counter

such

situation is to, introduce

certification

courses mandatory for students and professors both. The students should pass at least one

certification

course to obtain the degree, whereas the teachers should obtain

certification

once a year to attain promotion to

next level

Suggestion

the next level

. A good illustration of

this

is that there was a record breaking placement at the University of Kent, because most of the participating students were CCNA or Java certified.

Furthermore

, colleges should form an association with the industries, so that their experts should visit the college campus to enlighten the scholars about the latest trends in the technical world. To conclude, to increase the employability, in my opinion universities have to catch up with the fast changing development trends. For

this

, they need to have a very close relationship with corporate, and

also

motivate students and professors to do professional certifications.
