More importantly, work-ready graduates can be defined as people who are equipped to make an immediate contribution to their employer upon entering the workforce. Such individuals have a solid grasp of both the industry they are joining and the expectations of the role they will be taking on.
The studies, internships, work placements or other industry-related activities they have undergone have allowed them to attain important practical experience. Furthermore, they possess the soft skills crucial for success in the modern-day environment.
Essentially, they can:
- Communicate proficiently and
- Work harmoniously in a team

Graduates need to be equipped with the skills required to hit the ground running in their chosen fields. Employers need young professionals with a strong understanding of their sector, who are ready to innovate and take initiative.
