University and Empolyablity!!

When I saw this article on guardian my first thought wasn't surprise but concern!!

Many of my posts have been about employability linking to graduates this is an issue that isn't going away. Yes there is a world wide recession but as this article states when universities themselves are almost failing to give sufficient careers advice and empolyablity training to students what can be done.

Surely in a time where the economy is doing poorly you would think the government would help universities invest not only in careers advisers but people who actually could actually help them gain jobs and learn about those vital empolyablity skills I spoke about before.

I think this article is particularly interesting because it comes from the perspective of the students not being happy with the empolyablity advice their universities give them. As mentioned before the white paper reforms hope to tackle this very soon. As this is an area that really needs to be looked at. 

Empolyablity is a hot issue for graduates and if you are graduate at the moment always keep thinking about ways of building on those key empoluablity skills. This could be doing an internship,shadowing and getting a part-time job. Please refer to my previous post dated  Tuesday 6th December as this features my article about empolyablity. For for indepth advice and information about empolyablity skills.
