SHIFTING FROM JOB SEEKER TO JOB CREATOR

dimngen — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 09:49:14 +0000

Despite the need for all persons of working age to find work, jobs are very scarce as universities and other educational institutions release thousands of new graduates annually. The key question this paper revolves on is, ‘why don’t the thousands of graduate job-seekers become job-creators?’ ‘What do we have in stock to have a good start?’ The rate of unemployment of graduates stood at 17.4 per cent in 2005, indicating a need to orient graduates from being job seekers to job makers. The rate of unemployment among youth between 15-24 years is 83 per cent.

Although education and training attained have a great influence towards human capacity, working ideas will come to a mind that is conscious of the real challenge at hand. To transform a situation we must adopt significant changes ourselves.
