Curriculum Enrichment in Empowering “Corporate-Ready” Individuals

Abstract

It is turned out to be obvious in current trend that the curriculums are not adequately covering up the skills that a fresh graduate should possess to become employable. In order to become “corporate-ready,” the industry expectations have to be incorporated into the curriculum. Curriculum enrichment supports cognitive development of the student fraternity through well-planned lessons spread throughout the period of education. This study focuses on bridging the gap of academic-industrial interface with necessary skill sets between the seekers and the employees and molding individuals as “corporate-ready.” Once the Board of Study (BOS) identifies the existing gap, they will be able to incorporate the skills sets that are required to make the fresh graduates “corporate-ready.” The results were very optimistic showing 85% of the study group members welcoming the prerequisite in comparison with only 15% for the control group members opting for other dimensions of skill sets.
