    Are we giving half baked graduates in colleges and universities?. Why are there so may jobless graduates?. Is it that the mindset for white collar jobs only has tied our graduates from being innovative?

    Liberty, I don't think graduates being innovative is the problem. While Unemployment is a global issue affecting people of all ages, the situation is considerably worse for young people.
    I believe over the next decade graduates will have more difficulty finding a job than any other previous generation of youth. The International Labour Organisation reports that youth unemployment is around 13% nearly three times that of their older counterparts.
    According to the report, it will take the creation of 5 million jobs every month just to keep youth unemployment rates where they are today. In the next ten years less than half a billion job seekers are expected to actually find work. Clearly the situation is terrible.

    I would say it's because most of these jobs offered want several qualities that most graduates lack; experience. The opportunity of "let's give him a chance to see what he can achieve" doesn't exist anymore. They all want experienced personnel. After all you can't use your innovative feature if you don't have capital to produce results that will get you to earn. Actually the employers have given pyramid schemes the chance to take advantage of the unemployment situations. Machines are taking over soon most people will loose their jobs and increasing rate of unemployed graduates once more.

    We have so many jobless people because not all people are deemed to succeed in life. Though, all of us are capable of becoming successful. It's not easy to reach to the top: It demands patience from you, it will sometimes appear boring and not achievable. Eventually, you will give up. You will throw in the towel and say it was never meant to be so. Success is a friend to people who stick to their guns in times of despair and perilous times.
    I like reading stories of great men and women who failed so many times before they succeed in the end. It's the struggle that differentiates winners from losers.
    Stick to your gun when hardest hit and you will see success looming on the horizon!

    This is a social issue and social problem. The Educational System is a business. It promises you an education. Not a job. This determines on what geographical location you live, what kinds of job opportunities are available, and what you chose for a career and training. There are tons of people who have degrees, but working part-time and full-time jobs and can not support themselves. They are in student loan debt, and often families believe they are not doing what they can to support themselves. This also comes with the Generational Divide where things have shifted since 2008. The way we used to do things in life, is not how we do them today.

    To my opinion, I would say that,the reason behind Many graduate being jobless,is lack of creativity and innovation.yes I agree they probably have everything it takes,for instance the good skills needed.But the world we are living in is actually very competitive,therefore,if Many graduate remains unemployed,then it is worth thinking about something else like being their own boss.They can start something to do that is based on their profession, to earn some income.

    I believe that it due to the fact that students are driven to high paying jobs, and as such have a vast array of competition ahead of them, that they may not have been prepared for. Students should be provided with ways in which they can handle their realistic professional goals while learning, to improve their employability. Due to the large amount of jobless graduates, many high school graduates are coming to the conclusion that college may not be worth it and such, pursuing higher education would be a waste. This negative mindset has also led many able graduates to pursue alternative methods to achieve their professional goals. This is a shame, and I believe that colleges should be doing more to ensure that their graduates are securing jobs.

    Your question is timely and quite interesting. You want to know why there are so many jobless graduates while the world has so much to answer. Surely we need to understand that being a graduate is not a guarantee of getting employed. Most employers look for other qualities apart from Educational papers. Work experience, being a team player, diligence, leadership qualities are among some qualities sought by employers.

    It also goes that there are not as many jobs for graduates as you think. Skilled workers and labourers are needed too. A graduate does not want to bent so low. One can be self employed too.
