Aromas: Not really. There are basically 4 Engineering cadres. A University Engineering graduate is at the top of that "food chain". So, your friend might not be totally wrong. I'll refer you to a book, "Engineer in society" by prof. S. I. Oluka. You can get the details of the answer you seek from that book |

destino24: Mr. ITK some universities do offer BSc. Degrees to engineering graduates (e.g OAU Ife), it is not a must for the degree to be B.Eng. |

A good number of graduates today are simply 'unemployable'. I once interviewed a chap with a B. Ed in Biology education who couldn't define osmosis and her later came to me after the interview, saying he wasn't prepared. He even attempted to bribe me without knowing that I partly own the firm. |

Reason why Nigerian graduates cannot get jobs.. 1.Our Economy is oil reliant....meaning we use the money we earn from selling oil to import the things we should be manufacturing. This leads to a reduction in industries....and as a result, a reduction in jobs. As an example....back in the 80'S when I was a child., all the biscuit I ate was made in Nigeria.Foreign made biscuit was a once in a year treat. Now, foreign made biscuits are sold in all the roadside shops in Nigeria, because we are using our oil money to import them....meaning that our local biscuit manufacturers cannot make profits, and close down...and of course..there goes the jobs. 2.Our young people are not going for skills-based vocations.Instead, they all want to enter university so that they can graduate and get a desk job that will enable them to earn hefty salaries. Even those who do skills-based courses like enginerring do not use their skills at all...they head off into the banks, and business. And our young innovators are not setting up innovative industries....they are looking for contracts. Of course, since there are too many 'clerks' and too few jobs for the 'clerks;....unemploymnet results. What do we do.....simple. Stop relying on oil, and start relying on brains and innovation. 1 Like |

esbjay@gmail.co: Sad tale. The problem is, most students in our universities think that you learn everything in university....and refuse to acquire the extra skills needed to survive in the workplace. As a medical student,during my school days, I attached myself to a rural hospital for the holidays. Learned a lot of things that they do not teach you in medical school.(and medical school is heavy on the practical stuff). Another problem is that most students so not have the place to do industrial attachment....due to the lack of industries in the country. Finally, most students just want to use their degrees to get a desk job.....practicality no dey their blood! 2 Likes |

Aromas:yea, that's why we have techinicians and craftsmen but its good to have a good practical knowledge of what you are supervising depending on your engineering field so that you earn your respect, if you are smart enough you can manouevre your way using the design drawing cos most of these technicians in nigeria can't interprete drawings so you tel them what to do and they knw how to do it but its unfortunate that some engrg graduates can't even interprete simple drawings, som can't even use simple tools like vernier calipers, micrometer screw guage, plum guage etc |

The number one reason graduates are not able to secure jobs is that the ratio of employers to graduates is highly skewed. Everyone wants to graduate and secure jobs, zero innovation, zero foresight! I know lots of graduates that are still looking for jobs since we graduated in 2008, 5 years ago. How can you secure a job when people are not creating enough. My advice to those in school now is to develop business skills, learn a trade, something that can fetch you income, this will give you the necessary backbone to withstand any economic hardship till your dream job arrives. Not everyone is meant to work for someone, some were born to be inventors, creators, entrepreneurs! 2 Likes |

Getting a job as a graduate that offers good package is ok but being self sustainant that is having a thriving personal business is one thing must gratuates don't think of. Some usually brings the issue of capital, but i think a concrete idea(s) is all that is required. |
Re: Reasons New Graduates Cant Get Jobs by beau49: 7:46pm On Dec 03, 2013 |
Vry informative.....atleast I av learnt a tin or two abt graduates unemployability. As 4 those criticising odas abt their english,pls cut them some slack....can u go an insult a chinese professor 4 nt being abt 2 speak english or a german professor 4 dat matter.We all seem 2 4get abt d major thing which is wat dey can offer or nt whether dey knw hw 2 speak english....I can bet my last kobo that most of us dat claim 2 speak impeccable english don't ave anytin upstairs. Don't get me wrong I knw speaking is important but it shud nt be made d utmost priority....Atleast to me it beta 2 employ sum1 who has sumtin upstairs n can't speak gud english buh can learn as time goes on rather dan employing a nut head that speaks english. 2 Likes |

Having a job as a graduate that offers good package is ok, but then i realised that most graduate have little or no interest being self establish, that is having a thriving personal business. Crital thinking and idea and not capital is all that is required to set the ball rolling. Our resolve should be towards being self sustainance rather than stressfuly searching. |

[quote author=esbjay@gmail.co]i sincerely agreed with you, my company just employed one guy (an electrical engineer), to be sincere with you this guy doesnt know how to use tester, he doesnt know anything about electrical, i just discovered today that the guy is zero theoretically and i asked myself one question, how does this guy passed his exams, a Bsc holder from ESUT. I'm equally a fresh graduate (mechanical engineer) but i can dismantle, assemble and overhaul an engine without any supervision. TANX |
