RQ3: Solution

RQ: How can we overcome the unemployment of local graduates?
RO: To investigate the ways to solve this issue from getting worse by the years.

1st thing 1st, I personally think that no man will go hungry without getting a job, especially in Malaysia, as I see jobs opportunity everywhere. The question is it's not easy landing the exact job that you want, or what has been your ambition all along.

Hence, so many graduates couldn't find a job the moment they leave the university. One of the reasons I think is because the graduates nowadays are too picky, they just couldn't settle for a job that has a lesser pay than what they was hoping for, or perhaps jobs that doesn't fit their expertise, and so they don't see a point of working a job that doesn't requires their skills.

This is seriously a misconception, for when you leave the university and not get a job within the 1st 3 months, at most 6 months, you'll be classified as a jobless person instead of a fresh graduate. The reason is simply because when you don't work for more than 3 months, when you go for interviews after that, the interviewer will question your ability to work and function as an individual that will benefit the company.

Besides that, of course, most company would prefer to hire individuals that are flexible and can function in terms of sense and logical thinking. They need people that could make the right choice and pick out what will be beneficial for the company, instead of individuals that couldn't work as a team and even more do everything by the book.

Hence, it is crucial that IPTs should train university students skills to face challenges when they goes out into the working world. They should alter the Curriculum to fit their job requirement skills instead of baseless curriculum that doesn't really helps build up an individual's personality. In addition, the IPT should create more programs that students can involve in to enhance skills and human development.

Take Aiesec for example, an organization that is lead by university students all around the world, where it serves as an international platform in discovering the potentials of each individuals and bringing out their leadership qualities.

The courses offered in the universities should be based on what they'll really practice when they go out to work instead of some unnecessary courses that takes up a student's time. For most of the times, when they don't practice what they learn, they can't function well when they are required to do so in their job requirements.

These are some of the ways I think will help decrease the rate of unemployment among graduates. Please give me some feedback as to whether my opinion can be accepted. Do note that we have to review each other's opinion and not only focus on our own RQ's and RO's. TQ.
