Stop Offshoring
Thursday, October 19, 2006
A recent NY Times article talked about the dearth of employable talent in India. Despite a large number of graduates, few are qualified to work.
A study commissioned by a trade group, the National Association of Software and Service Companies, or Nasscom, found only one in four engineering graduates to be employable. The rest were deficient in the required technical skills, fluency in English or ability to work in a team or deliver basic oral presentations.
That's what I've been saying for years! However, my estimate is closer to 1 in 10 Indians having the required skill level. Employers think that just because someone claims to be an engineer and possesses a degree, they should be employed. I hope this adds more fuel to the fire that work done offshore is inferior to the work done here.
