Why there is a need of a finishing school, anyway?

Typically, I personally believe that we have a very basic issue of taking permission for everything and this is true for our curriculum as well. The same old orthodox method of organizational structure where the issues gets lost without anybody noticing them altogether. The technological world has been moving at a very fast pace and typically it takes no time for any technology to become obsolete. The corporate world has been able to keep up with the pace but unfortunately our education system has not. That is where the finishing schools have come up. It is something better for the students who while joining the course are given great promises of a secure job after completing the course but the reality is something really different and shocking.

This is what I believe is the problems with the colleges:
1) Industry certified and accredited curriculum
2) Experienced faculty to deliver these courses
3) A very close association with the industry
4) Close monitoring of Projects assigned
5) Lack of career counseling at the very beginning of their course
6) Soft Skills

Only effective, industry accepted education can solve India's employment crisis and finishing schools try to bridge that gap.
