3. Graduate Attributes

Few comments from the Industry/Employer:

​

“They are lack of mindset to excel, no urge to learn more.”

​

“They can’t blend well easily with others. They are inexpressive and lack of creative in new ideas…and their command of English is poor.”

​

“They are narrow-minded and not risk-takers. Even during big meetings we can see that those who dare to share their views are more of foreign graduates.”
