RE: [MTC Global] Employability Quotient-- Research Insight

No doubt knowledge is paramount but we have also to understand that knowledge is dynamic and one has to keep acquiring the knowledge throughout the life as per needs of the times, hence it is more important to have the skill to acquire the relevant knowledge when needed. It is a general impression that 75% of the knowledge becomes redundant by the time a student is ready to apply the knowledge for launching his/her career. It is also believed that management theories are also dynamic and may or may not be relevant within given set of situation and the resources hence one has to have skill to take appropriate decision. Again KSA can be read as ASK and one has to keep asking all the time to stay relevant and this way attitude comes first that is the prime mover of both thinking and action, then comes skills – skill to acquire relevant knowledge – skill to apply knowledge thus acquired, skill to learn from experiences of self and others and so on so forth.

Dear MTCians,

I have come across many people/recruitment consultants including management teachers endorsing the presentation skills, social skills etc more than knowledge.

But I strongly believe knowledge always comes first. Without the content of subject what people are going to present. May be presentation skill is more applicable to TV news readers ( and the jobs alike) where somebody fills the content and they have to just read it using their remarkable PPT skils.

Coming to social skills, unless they have knowledge which needs to be routed through social skills... what's the use?

There has to be right mix of KSA. Here also Knowledge takes first place.

Please share your views.

International Herald Tribune drafted the report in collaboration with consultancy firms Emerging (France) and Trendence (Germany), with a view to analyzing the opinions of top international executives about the quality of universities in their respective countries and continents, as well as other world regions. Some of the main findings are that recruiters hire graduates in universities which are in close contact with the corporate world and whose students gain professional experience during their studies, and companies attach greater importance to the development of social skills such as the capacity to do presentations, motivation and teamwork, than to theoretical knowledge.
