Use synonyms

for a number of reasons. One of them is that many programmes are too theoretical. It means that highly educated

graduates

lack simple skills required for employment,

for example

therefore

, prefer candidates with hands-on experience. Another reason is that

universities

offer too many courses in popular fields,

such

for engineering and science programmes.

As a result

and a deficit of engineers. Reform of higher

could alleviate many of the problems but would require joint efforts from

and the government. If

universities

worked closely with employers, they could teach

practical skills that companies look for. Meanwhile, the government could develop guidelines on how many

should recruit in each subject in accordance with the market demand. In conclusion, a likely reason why many

graduates

cannot find a

in their field is that university

might not have provided them with the right skill set or an in-demand profession. I think that
