Project Background:

One of the greatest challenges for graduates is to acquire employability skills needed in the workplace while one of the greatest challenges facing organisations is the amount of personal development still required by graduates when they enter the job market.

The consequence is that employers tend to expect graduates to be ready to run with their new jobs while graduates expect employers to show them support- this leads to an expectation gap which can clearly create work stress and tension. So ultimately the need of building workplace readiness prior to seeking employment is of utmost importance in the current economic climate.
