| The Chinese Philosopher, Confucius, stated that the goal of education was to produce men of quality who combined Competence with Virtue. The opportunities for graduates in the Service Sectors have increased over the past one decade. However, many graduates remain without obs. Current technological and economic changes have created a challenging context for students. The main objective of this paper is to try to highlight the industry needs expected from graduates such as basic oral and written communication skills, basic computer skills (MS Office, Internet, etc), and a good workplace attitude (commitment and teamwork). These skills are prerequisites for landing the best available jobs. Employability is automatically increased if the students have good professional competencies. |
