With the changing trends in global trade the world has become a small market. Cross country trade has generated new employment opportunities for fresh talent. Employers of today operate in a competitive environment; therefore the need for market ready employees endowed with keenness to upgrade their skills has gone up.
Language plays a vital role in communication which is a prerequisite for Global trade -thereby technical skills of an individual need to be complemented with necessary soft skills to make him a complete professional.
The burning question is "Does the academic curriculum address these skills ?"
Our education system primarily focuses on rote learning and passing exams rather than practical application and skills needed to do the job. While the hiring process of companies mainly assesses freshers on English communication, Quantitative Aptitude, Problem Solving Skills and Attitude.
Some students, who know the importance, upgrade their skills but majority does not. Some reasons for students not upgrading their skills can be varied as given below.
- Not a part of the curriculum therefore relevance is not clear
- Do not understand the importance
- Understand the importance but do not get the right environment
- Get the right environment but no support systems are in place to help them overcome obstacles like shyness, etc.
- Lack of will on part of institutions to allocate resources to ensure that the students are given adequate exposure.
