Businesses don't want College grads. Why?

A recent study showed that nearly 70 percent of corporate recruiters said that their company has a hard time managing its younger generation of workers. Among the perceptions from the survey were that recent college graduates are harder to retain, lack a strong work ethic and are not as willing to pay their dues as previous generations were.

                                           This study gives rise to the question "Is College worth the investment?". Many parents and students said that they are slowly losing hope in colleges due to the huge debts and unemployment or underemployment rates. Some of the preparation that businesses find lacking comes in the area of hard skills, such as technical knowledge and writing ability. Much of it, however, relates to behavior. Nearly 75 percent of the survey’s older respondents said they think younger employees don’t have a strong work ethic, and another 70 percent said young workers today are not willing enough to put in time at the bottom of the organization.

                                                        It is the job of the faculty and College administration to better prepare the students for the job market by making them technically and ethically sound. With the privatization of Educational Institutes, more and more are just hoarding money from the students and not giving them the required skills, knowledge and training. Just wonder who is to blame here? The Student or the College Education System?
