I'm an employer and I can tell you that in the UK a lot of graduates are incredibly ill-equipped. Most of our universities are not teaching the right stuff and not emphasising the correct stuff anywhere near enough. Knowing only one language like Java (a UK uni. favourite) to a junior standard is simply unacceptable to most employers. Being unable to construct even a simple object model and writing nested mutable state for-loops with the old school "i" and "j" as variable names is also not a good sign.
