Conversations with Educators – Part 7 - What do Companies look for in Graduates?

I am in a meeting with the director of training of a college in Chittorgarh. We were conducting some training sessions for students there. He shared with me some thought provoking observations.

Further Training right after college

He told me how most companies spend a lot of money to train the employee in the first and second year. This was done right after college. Many of the college graduates were not ready for the job with the theory-based approach of most colleges. Why was an additional two years of training needed? What were the students being thought at these colleges if they were not job ready for the technical vocational course they opted for?

Sometimes only the larger corporate entities could afford this training. Examples of training courses included use of industrial machinery and latest technology with regards to the job.
