Abstract
Identifying and solving for the gap between university curriculum and the expectations of workplace hiring managers leaves graduates at a disadvantage when seeking employment in their field. What are those demands? What are the skills gaps? How can we solve to properly prepare graduates so that they are well-prepared for the demands of the industry?
