In many instances in the past, as HR Professionals, we have experienced challenges to source talented workforce despite the vast population of qualified graduates. There is a lacuna in terms of the quality of these graduates available for employment. While many of them are technically competent, almost all of them lack the necessary soft skills required to be successful professionally. It is lack of soft skills that is the reason for qualified graduates not being able to find a job. Surprisingly, this disconnect between educational institutions and industry exists not just in India but is prevalent across the world and we can say this based on our experiences having worked in India and abroad.
