RO1: Causes of Unemployment

This can be the causes why the unemployment among local graduates has become world major concerns today.
Because they lack social and communication skills in addition to a poor command of language and low levels of self confidence.

Lack of communication skills

Employment counselors are well aware that communication skills are in demand in the workplace. 
Successful careers require the ability to communicate effectively both orally and in writing; these critical competencies will become more valuable as technology intensifies the significant role of messages in the workplace. 
Language is a powerful force. 
People in the workplace need to communicate quickly and effectively in messages sent by e-mail and handheld instant messaging devices; in meetings and dyadic encounters; and, of course, in letters, memorandums, and report.
Results showed that employers were less than satisfied with overall communication skills of their new hires and recommended that students receive more training in both oral communication and written communication skills.

Poor command of language
It is confirmed what has long been known most of the unemployed are Malays from lower-income families who lack command of the English language.
The poor command of our English with current generation is probably due to the many of the participants were Malays with degrees in business studies or information technology from public universities, where courses are taught in Malay.
They are still using Malay language along all the lessons.
These is why most of the graduates can't communicate and speak in English well.
