“For
our people to benefit from new employment opportunities, we must ensure that
every Indian is skilled and educated. Alone on Education we can’t make our
nation prosperous and cant built make progressive society. We will make India a
nation of educated people, of skilled people, of creative people.”
Education is there in India, In this 21st
Century, India is emerging as a global Leader with the fast emerging changes. In
spite of the increase in the number of school and universities across India, we
are surviving with a mediocre higher education system in the global market.
After 69 years of Independence, we face the
problems of millions of graduates being unemployable for Indian &
Multinational companies. According to the Statistics provide by the Team Lease
only 50 % or less then of it graduate & Post Graduate is get employable.
The current education system does not educate students to
apply skills gives only bookish knowledge. Basic attitudes and skills like
punctuality, maintaining logbooks, project management, discipline, customer
interface, clear communication, etc. are not taught. So even if basic skills
are there, the lack of professional skills often means that the individual
cannot create value for themselves or their organization. Students take
admission in college on the basis of Name of college & Institute “Y” not on the basis quality of teaching provide by them.
Industry complaint, that the youth are not employable, is a
harsh feedback that Indians are not measuring up to the order of psychological
capacity demanded in the modern workplace. But how is this possible when the
Indian higher education system has not made many changes in its syllabus and
teaching method since from long time.
THE MOVIE ON THE SAME SUBJECT “THREE IDIOTS
“HAS GIVEN THE GOOD MESSAGE, INSTITUTES ARE LIKE FACTOERY WHO ARE PRODUCING
DEGREE HOLDERS NOT THE PROFESSIONALS OR JOB HOLDERS. ALL ARE RUNNING IN THE
RACE OF GRADES.
Why our 80 % Engineers or any other
Professional Degree Holders are Unemployable and what the Measures to improve
this Crisis.
Before get to know the answer of this question we should
understand the meaning of Unemployable.
Unemployable means: “not
acceptable for employment as a employee.” Or Lack of skills and competencies
which is require in job other than a degree”
Unemployment is: “the
state of being unemployed.”
There seems to be a significant skill gap in the country as
80% of the Engineering and other Degree holders are “unemployable” as many reports
by different group that who putting light on this matter and says that there is
need to upgrade education and Training system to make student Employable rather
than degree holder.
Education Institute train million of youngsters but corporate
often complain that they do not get the necessary skill and talent require for
a job.
According to Aspiring Minds National Employability Report,
which is based on a study of more than 1, 50,000 engineering students who
graduated in 2015 from over 650 colleges, 80% of the them are unemployable.
Only Few Institutes who work on education as well as employable skills
of students there is one new subject has introduced “Employability
Skills”. Institutes hiring trainers for this Subject in
which students get training on Communication skills , Group discussion skills ,
Presentation skills, Life skills , Behavioral skills, aptitude , attitude etc..
which make them or help them to be Employable. To see today’s scenario it is
important to have Education + S Factor to student so they can grow, develop and become fruitful for
both organization and
Nation both.To make students from unemployable to Employable
Institutes and colleges have to take responsibilities.
Who’s Responsibility to make graduates Employable?
It's true that universities need to play a stronger role as
nurturers of employable, self-awareness among students.
Institutes & College need to turn the idea of soft and
hard skills on its head. Young adults' people skills are essential. Decision-making,
excellent writing skills, team working, presentation and articulation, empathy,
reflection, curiosity and listening are some of the skills being demanded by
all organizations, not just corporations. Many graduates have these
skills; they just don't know it. As a largely digital generation, their
inter-personal skills are dramatically variable, from listening brilliantly and
taking on board feedback, to dialogue and empathy.
Formal and Current education system to be Revised. Arguably, the
greatest challenge facing higher education in India is the chronic shortage of
faculty. Various reports estimate that 30-40% of faculty positions are
unfilled. Most faculties have had no training in teaching. Other issues in
teaching and learning which compound the problems include:- Outdated,
rigid curricula and the absence of employer engagement in course content
and skills development.
- Pedagogies
and assessment are focused on input and rote learning; students have
little opportunity to develop a wider range of transversal skills,
including critical thinking, analytical reasoning, problem-solving and
collaborative working.
- High
student: teacher ratio, due to the lack of teaching staff and pressure to
enrol more students.
- Separation
of research and teaching; lack of early stage research experience.
- An
ineffective quality assurance system.”
- Soft
Skill not a part of Curricular.
SO It’s our system and Institutes Responsibility to improve
current Education System and to make student aware about the Current scenario
so they work accordingly and compete with the Current Employment Problems.
Indian Government made a one
Step in this Direction that is Skill Development Courses for Graduates and
Undergraduates. If all this courses are part of Academics definitely all
efforts work well. So with Education there is one another Factor which work
like “Tasty food with some more Cheese” that is {S} SKILL factor.
