There's no Course throughout your 4 years titled : HOW TO BECOME A GAINFULLY EMPLOYED ADMINISTRATOR/ACCOUNTANT/FINANCIAL MANAGER

Our educational system in Nigeria is so messed up
Its not a test of brilliancy and intelligence but how much you can cram and write during exams , that's all.

Employability skills are basic requirements and necessary conditions for sustainability in the Labour Market. Your professional or academic knowledge is incomplete if these skills are found wanting in employees.

There are 5 broad Employability Skills School won't teach you about viz

1. Interpersonal Skills - How to Solve Problems || Decision Making || Empathy || Negotiations || Tact and Diplomacy || Building Rapport || Networking

2. Communication and Presentation - How to write reports || How Present an Idea || Good Spoken English || Writing of Business Plans, Business Letters, Résumé, CV, Cover Letters,LinkedIn Profile ( How many of us knows What LinkedIn is ? ) || Presentation Skills etc

3. Personal Development - Building Confidence || Stress Management || Risk Management || Assertiveness || Time Management || Reading to Grow || Prudent Spending etc

4. Digital Skills - Computer Literacy || Use of Advance Packages || Use of Internet || Word Processing ( Ms Word etc ) || Spreadsheet ( Ms Excel etc) || Graphics Designing

5. Leadership Skills - Teamwork || Strategic Thinking || Being Charismatic || How to Delegate || Organisational Skill ||
Etc

GES 300 is all that they know, they will charge you as high as 5k for the text book, rather than talking about better ways to secure good jobs
