A lot of people do not think that getting university education translates to success in employment or qualifying for a job automatically. Schools offer a lot of knowledge not only concerning one’s chosen field of study but also other areas of learning. Such approaches to providing a wide base of knowledge serve the purpose of producing individuals that are well rounded and ready to get employed in any field. It is however not evident if universities offer training that is relevant to the work situations that student will get subjected to after completing their studies.
It is important for new employees to have an idea of what to expect after they complete university education. Furthermore, Jansink, Kwakman, and Streumer (2005) stated that there is a need for schools to concentrate on the environment of work for new employees to gain the ability to achieve goals. Such a concentration means that the universities have to identify themselves as significant contributors to the builders of organizations and institutions that need a skilled workforce for maximum profitability. Also, Lang-8 (2014) potential employees should acquire training that incorporates knowledge of technology from the universities because of the dynamic nature of technologies within the workplace. Institutions of higher learning should, therefore, prepare learners for an environment that is technology driven for a successful career life.
Also, training should take into account the jobs that have a potential of still existing in the future, and not merely train students for careers that may not exist anymore post training as explained by Lang-8 (2016). Universities should also offer courses that focus on specialization to produce workers who are beneficial to their employees. Courses that are devoid of specialization lead to graduates who are superficial regarding knowledge as stated by Holmes, Scanlon, and Niblett (2005).
