Jobs and Skills Australia (JSA) has expressed concern that the nation’s universities are not producing graduates who have the skills that employers need.
JSA commissioner Barney Glover says the organisation’s research has found that this is problem with engineering and IT graduates in particular. He notes that employers consider that up to 90% of graduates applying for jobs in these sectors are not suitable.
“There is a gap between the skills of graduates and the requirements of employers”, Professor Glover told The Australian.
