2. Preamble
Across Industrial forum interactions, it is Industry Professionals including CEO, CHRO, COO, CFO, CMO, et al,
feel that, students are not Industry ready. The gap between Industry expectations and academic preparedness is
wide. Industry feel students are /may be good in Academics, but Corporate want students who are billable from
the day one and stay relevant all the times. On the macro level, the challenge lies in lack of connect between
the stake holders - Industry and Institute. In order to know and understand what is happening in the Industry
and required KAS-Knowledge-Attitude-Skills, Academic Institute should have model / framework to connect
with Industry. Moreover, it is the Institute who should make first move of bridging the gap and work with
Industry in getting the ‘Expectations Feeler Matrix’. Once the 3 stakeholders - Institute-Industry-Professional
Association come together, there would be positive results of Students Readiness leading to Employability.
( Note: I-I-I = Industry-Institute-Interaction )
KeyWords: Skills, Competency,Corporate Readiness, Employability
