[MTC Global] Skill gap

Just out of curiosity-why are we doing this exercise?

As faculty of Management  it would be a good way to see what we want to achieve at the end of it all ( objectives-goals and visions)l.We could then work backwards to see how we can achieve this.( plan a process)

A list of this kind-audit-will help us see what can be plugged and what is beyond us.

Otherwise we could start this discussion another 25 years later and find ourselves right here where we started. 

I work in the industry and can tell you that the biggest problem are not just the  students: yes we need skills but what we need urgently, if we are to lose out not just nationally but internationally, is attitude. Students believe they are entitled to the  best available everywhere without contributing anything or giving off themselves.We equate arrogance to courage,pushing and grabbing as smartness and holding the halo over our heads and eternally  believing we have arrived.They are poor learners,dont read in depth or in width,have no talents  .

But we have to work closer from home-how can we , the faculty, first change ourselves?
