In today’s rapidly evolving job market, there is a widening gap between the skills students acquire during their academic journey and the skills required by industries. Our education system places a heavier emphasis on theoretical knowledge rather than practical application, leaving students with limited hands-on experience. This lack of real-world exposure often results in graduates who are underprepared for the demands of their future roles, leading to confusion and uncertainty once they enter the workforce. When students are faced with the realities of a job, they often struggle to understand what needs to be done and how to apply their academic learning in practical scenarios. This mismatch not only hampers their ability to secure meaningful employment but also leaves industries grappling with a shortage of job-ready talent. Consequently, innovation and growth in the economy are slowed.
