What would that be? Classes in blame management? Email necromancy? How to beat your peers in stack ranking? How to obtain mandatory technical skills without training? How to live cheaply when your employer doesn't pay enough?
How about employers just admit that their problems are not unique (even though their software might be) and that training and retaining general-purpose employees is far more useful than hiring a bunch of (expensive) niche experts for every little project.
- gluggymug 11y agoBlame management is super important! Faking passion is what the grad in the article needs to work on apparently. I don't think unis are equipped to teach everything. The article says that internships are where grads can get workplace experience but I've never handed real problems to any interns. Who would? Important stuff needs actual employees. Frankly they'd learn more by watching me do my thing than solving their little intern assignments.
