Align outsourced government work with graduate employment

Not so long ago, one newspaper reported that graduate unemployment figures were in the region of 80,000, a statistical obscenity. Meanwhile, private tertiary institutions are at work manufacturing their next installments to the ever growing problem. Unless something is done in a hurry, graduate unemployment will in time be the country’s number one security threat. The sooner government realises the magnitude of the problem, the better.

Spare the unemployed graduates political promises about growing the national economy as a solution, at least for now. We have become certifiable failures in that regard. Our economy is presently, only a little more than a graveyard of failed projects. I don’t have to give examples. Promises of future economic growth offer no comfort to the eighty thousand graduates roaming the streets. They want jobs today.
