As someone who did a bachelor's at GT, students constantly complained that none of the classes prepared you for Day 1 of a job.
GT's collective response was always that that wasn't their job. They expected you to pick up {new-js-library} while you were studying.
Their job was to "train you for the last job you'll ever have."
And there's a certain wisdom to that. I can learn a new library -- I'd be unlikely to learn the full networking stack, RDBS internals, the history of hardware / software development, or OS & processor memory handling.
