8 interesting courses to sync your passion with your career

For the ones who want to start business at their door step, there are some off-beat courses which can be the best option for them. Soon after getting a diploma or degree in it, they can start earning. So there are some courses with the name of popular institute which is jotted down together. The employability rate is very less.

• Less than 11 per cent of hotel management graduates 'employable' (economictimes.indiatimes.com)
• National Employability Report 2015 reports indicate that 80% of engineering graduates are unemployable
• The Fact is – On an average more than 50 lakh students graduate every year in India, a three, four or five years of degree after 12th standard from all the streams. More than 75%+ students are entering the job market and ‘Nearly 47 per cent graduates in India unemployable’- (thehindu.com).

2 reasons why students lack job-specific skills –

1. Our education system is more theory oriented. It gives more focus on acquiring bookish knowledge rather than application, of what is learnt. The picture is slowly changing, but there needs to be a perfect balance between the two.
2. People have strong beliefs in our Indian culture which is a myth that – pursue a degree and you will get a job. What degree? It doesn’t matter to just be a graduate. While acquiring the degree; students rarely think about what job specific skills they must acquire so that they have a better chance of employment. This is what people should think of!
