大学职业化

Due to the increased enrollment of college students in recent years, the total number of graduates coming out at the same time is such that many college graduates have difficulties in procuring jobs, especially when the economy is suffering slowdown.

And then many scholars suggest that colleges should lay emphasis on vocational training by setting relative courses in the college curriculum so that graduates are more likely to be employed.

Taking the employers' requirement into consideration, that is, working experience, the suggestion seems reasonable.

However, I think, even if universities become vocation-oriented, it can not serve well for the employment.

Besides, the vocational orientation will do harm to the higher education.

Firstly, the suggestion seems to be based on the fact that new college graduates may have learned mountains of theories but lack practical abilities.

In accord with this suggestion, if college students have received enough vocational training and gained experience in internship, they are likely to get employed.

Admittedly, self-improvement is crucial for new graduates to hunt jobs.

But the suggestion does not take into account job vacancies in the present.

Though China's economy keeps growing at a rate of about 9% in the recent and the number of jobs does increase, too many graduates coming out at a time will create great pressure for the job market.
