In a labor-surplus economy, we¶re now experiencing

an unbelievable phenomenon of jobs looking for workers.

1. Out of 100 workers applying for call center jobs, only 5 are

hired: they need 600,000 more until 2010, according to BPAP

2. 100,000 welders needed locally.

3. Commercial airline pilots and aviation technicians have flown

away and are now considered critical skills.

4. Mining, geodetic and metallurgical engineers now needed bythe mining industry but none can be extracted from the earth.

5. Did you know we don¶t have enough waiters and bartenders?

And you thought waitering was easy!

Why do we still have underutilized labor?

8/9/2019 Track1 (2)


We believe the culprit is skills mismatch.

Skills mismatch ± refers to a condition whereby the

skills and education of the existing workforce do not

match the needs of existing firms and industries. Thislargely reflects the fact that a country¶s policies,

primarily labor and education, have not adjusted to

the needs of its economic sectors.

This phenomenon is not just happening in thePhilippines.

the lack of English language competencies,

poor interactive skills,

poor choice of degree courses,poor quality degree courses or

more blatantly, just too many students who

barely passed their degree examinations.

Reaction by a reader in a blog to a plan of the Malaysian government

to enroll college undergraduates in skills training to improve their

employability.

Reasons for unemployability of college

graduates

8/9/2019 Track1 (2)


A substantial portion of the registered 66,000 unemployed graduates

are from some of the most popular courses.

Business administration, computer and information technology, and

engineering are the most sought-after courses by many school

leavers.

This has resulted in a high number of unemployment amonggraduates from these disciplines ± 19,900 business administration

graduates, 9,500 from computer and information technology, and

7,500 engineering graduates.

The Malay Mail, April 11, 2005

8/9/2019 Track1 (2)


Running third is engineering, with 45,444 expected graduates

for the year. Compared with the figures in 1995, when its

graduates stood at 46,090, the number dropped by 1.4

percent.

Engineering graduates will have the toughest time in getting

the jobs that they spent time learning in the colleges they

came from.

³We produce mostly white-collar engineers. They never get

their hands on. Worse, they are not qualified to be engineers

in its strict sense,´

Donald Dee, President, Employers Confederation of the

Philippines

The bottomline is, students should pick courses

based on their capabilities and not based on

what's apparently "in-demand" out there (e.g., IT

courses). If you are not cut out for IT or

Engineering, putting yourselves through the

courses is not going to make you more

employable in the IT or Engineering markets.

8/9/2019 Track1 (2)


³Jobs skills mismatch is a major challenge right now. Alarge number of trained graduates are left unemployed

or underemployed because they do not fit the

requirements of the job market. It¶s quite ironic that a

number of job vacancies could not be filled up because

the available manpower supply would not fit the job.´

Why college education is still preferred by most

1. College education qualifies them for white-

collar employment which usually offers a

number of advantages²more comfortable and

safer workplaces, more regular and stableterms of employment, and social security

protection.

2. College education improves their lifestyle, if not

their social standing.
