The analysis of the transition from university to work after graduation in social science subjects with special focus on Pakistan
Abstract
The learning process of higher education is generally considered not only to gain knowledge and wisdom but also to get some dynamic skills which are necessary to translate the abilities with respect to future job market requirements. In spite of the fact that the route to success depends
on personal abilities, this paper intends to investigate the contribution of the university in giving its graduates a competitive edge in the open market. In recent years the debate over the role of
university in preparing and furnishing the personal attributes of the students is a hot discussion in the academic circles. However, in Pakistan the transition from university to work is little bit complicated. The curriculum and teaching method seems to be out-dated. Theoretical orientation has proved devoid of the market demands. The graduates have to strive hard to get a decent
work experience after graduation. The various reports depict a grim picture of the state of affairs. This paper highlights the reasons and the overall implications on the people who are very anxiously waiting for the job.
