Graduates from universities

Graduates from unversitites

I carried out a talk last year to a university and found that students who only had six months to go until receiving degree had not planned future. This astounded me when I pointed out that the 6 months left actually represented 223 hours of class time left befor let out to the big bad world.

I seen a way of improving system and todat e mailed and contacted certain people to pilot a programme that does not exist, to refocus stiudents and motivate students to plan more effectivley.

I have spoken to two graduates today on the phone and want nothing more to assist where we can but we cannot do it for them,

So is it the system, the education system, Please do not look at me as I never went to university, I would be intyerested in peoples opinion as its an area that I will explore and assist with new programmes.

I have enough life experience in being round graduates for last 20 years and being around universities, so whats wrong with motivation within students not looking beyond degree.

I am getting statistics for people who leave education and have no employment after degree educated thats the starting point for me

give me your thoughts

Traditionally, unless the study is vocational, a university degree is about learning - and not about getting a job afterwards... In the final year of a degree there is a lot of self-applied pressure and a lot of self-motivation to get the best outcome - but it''s a degree outcome, not a job outcome. There''s plenty of motivation in university students... Perhaps it''s just a focus shift that''s needed. Same skills, purpose and motivation - different target.
