Campus to Corporate – Industry must not reject freshers because of no experience or less experience | Dr. Bhupendra Kaushal | Head – Manufacturing (HR) | Zydus wellness Ltd
PREFACE:
India has world largest graduates and world largest illiterate at the same time. This is a Precarious and paradoxical situation in the job market. India is facing unemployment of educated workforce beside unemployment of illiterate workforce for various reasons .Demand for the labour is less than supply of skilled workforce leading to poor wage rates or less salary . De-facto, there is acute shortage of employable workforce due to multiple reasons leading to educated employment.
Management Colleges, ITI, Polytechnic and Engineering Institutes are producing qualified workforce In each year as compared to the available vacancies, leading to huge widening gap between demand for the workforces and supply of the workforce in both white collared and blue-collared workforce.
Employment ratio is high for those passing out from Branded Business schools, Engineering Institutes, or diploma Institutes, which is not affordable by general populace. Whereas, general university pass out candidates remain unemployed at the mercy of god leading to the gaps arisen out of two layers of society between haves and haves not. Hence, any fresher if not selected from the campus remain to the mercy of references of relatives or industrial colleagues. We need to understand the reasons of unemployment and way forward from campus to corporate.
CAUSATIVE FACTORS LEADING TO UNEMPLOYMENT:

– Poor Interview skills.
– Poor Infrastructure of government collages / Polytechnic / ITI.
