Many people think that universities should provide graduates with the knowledge and skills needed in the workspace. 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. Discuss your opinion!

Most people think that universities should provide graduates with the

knowledge

and skills needed in the workspace.

On the other hand

, others think that the true aim of a

university

should be to give access to

knowledge

for its own sake, regardless of whether the course is useful to an employer.

This

essay will state why the following is true since I believe that students can practice the

knowledge

and skills needed for employment in another institution. Nowadays, many misunderstand the main goal of higher education which is not preparing the youth for practice-based employment, but to transfer

knowledge

and create an environment where research is being done effectively and regularly. Because of

this

misconception, more and more people demand universities to prepare students with every skill -hard and soft, conventional and modern- there so they can compete in the 'real world'. I strongly disagree with

this

way of thinking. In my opinion, if someone wants to focus on being a good employee only, the

university

should not be the way to go. There are many more suitable places to find the

knowledge

and skills for them to join hiring companies.

For instance

, a training academy might be a better option to meet those needs. For

university

students who fancy academic abilities yet still want the additional worker capabilities, they may consider learning in the future workplace itself since companies usually provide internship or prohibition programs. In conclusion, many still think that

university

should be a one-stop solution for every student's needs,

while

I strongly believe that it actually is a place that puts research and

knowledge

sharing as its main focus.
