This document discusses poor student placements using a cause-effect diagram. It identifies three main root causes of poor placements: 1) high competition in the job market with demands for specialized skills, 2) lack of vocational education focusing on specialization rather than general skills, and 3) need for college branding among employers. Potential solutions discussed include improving vocational training, academic performance, college branding, and incentivizing employers to recruit from colleges. The cause-effect diagram approach helps determine root causes and potential data collection areas to address the problem of poor student placements.
