Every year 1000 children complete their higher education and they hope that education will open a new door for a better life. Therefore, our main purpose was to show the reality. We want to validate that either curriculum and jobs are choluteca bridges or it is a strong bridge. Every state has authority to make their curriculum. In India, English curriculum basically focuses on English proficiency, building confidence, Group discussion, Writing letters, mails, reports, articles etc. And we know these things will definitely help us at our workplace. According to McKinsey’s Education to Employment report, 70% of educators surveyed believe graduates are prepared for the job market. On the other side, less than 50% of employers and young graduates agree.    





Who is responsible for the skills mismatch? Educators? Employers? Or students. The McKinsey report is just one of the many indicators to reflect that educators, entrepreneurs and young graduates are not on the same page. In India, curriculum mainly focuses on marks. They didn't consider practical knowledge. They always focus on Theoretical  knowledge.

 The first step is for professionals and professors to work together to bridge the gap between the education we have and the education we need. The second step is to make learners an integral part of this conversation and to immerse them in the real world so that they get the proper information about the education they can get and what the job market really needs. By immersing learners in the real world, these projects are helping them to take risks, manage results and also better understand their future career options. So before we set off to redesign a new curriculum or decide that corporate universities and programs are the only to resolve the job market’s real needs, educators, learners and employers have to step into each other’s worlds. To solve the skills gap, we have to bridge this communication gap.
