The issue of graduates employment after graduation from higher educational institutions is extremely topical. Young professionals face hard market conditions. Currently, young people are the largest group of the unemployed in Kazakhstan. Elena Yarmonova in the article «Problems of graduates employment in Kazakhstan» contents that youth represent more than 30 % of the total number of registered unemployed (2013). In addition, 25 - 25 % of the total aggregate of unemployed youth are graduates (2013). This statistic proves that this problem requires an immediate solution. The best ways to solve the problem of graduates’ unemployment is complication of university admission and quality practices and internship during studies.
There are many factors which influenced the development of this problem. Among them are a huge number of graduates with higher education, graduates without work experience, employers do not trust the quality of graduates’ knowledge and excessive demands on the part of the employers. One of the most popular reasons why it happened is a huge number of graduates with higher education. For example, total number of students in the city of Almaty in 2013 is 256 803 persons (Amirali, 2013). It becomes clear that such a large number of students just do not get jobs. But every year the number of incoming students is growing, and the number of jobs does not increase.
The second reason that caused the problem of graduates’ employment is graduates without work experience. This is one of the main obstacles to employment. What can be the experience of a former student in his or her specialty in the end of study? After all, the student did not have a diploma, and if he or she had experience in work is only like a courier, del...

...nity to get a good experience in working. But actually it depends on the person.
In conclusion, There are several ways for solving employment problems after graduation. In this essay was reviewed two decisions, one of which is a complication of entrance examinations, another is practice while studying. Considering these solving becomes clear that the most powerful solution is practice. Since it contains more positive qualities such as work experience, opportunities to get a job in that company in which the student was an intern, and so on. The second solution is weak as a complication of examinations leads to a good quality of knowledge, but not all can contribute to getting a job.
I would like to recommend to students have practical training during studies. This is the best way to have experience in work. Graduated people will have good opportunities to have job.
A majority of people believe that graduating from college will result in a well-paying job. Unfortunately, a degree will not secure a job for many graduates. In the U.S., the jobless rate for college graduates in 2012 was 7.7 percent, and has further increased in the past five years(Robinson). With such a large pool of unemployed citizens for employers to choose from, recent graduates are facing fewer opportunities for work due to little or no previous work experience(Robinson). Although many graduates are faced with unemployment, the majority do receive the opportunity to work. Sadly, many must work jobs they do not enjoy for salaries that make it difficult to make ends meet(Debate). Students are faced with mortgage-sized debts upon graduation, making it difficult for them to start businesses, buy cars or houses, or make other investments that would better the
If more people went to college, and less went the vocational route, jobs will take a momentous hit. Today, companies will not even touch an application that does not include a Bachelor’s Degree; even if the Bachelor’s Degree has nothing to do with the job being applied for. Attention is not given to whether the hopeful applicant qualifies for the job; all that matters is that the applicant has a Bachelor’s degree. Murray best sums up the American job market when he says, “Employers do not value what the student learned, just that the student has a degree” (Murray). However, if less people obtain a Bachelor’s Degree, employers will be forced to base applicants on their skills, and abilities. Furthermore, important vocational jobs that lie vacant will be filled. Good electricians, carpenters, and construction workers will always be in

People continue to wonder if college is worth the time and money spent with numerous individuals still unemployed, a valid concern of young students. Despite the information the majority have heard about unemployment rates, this is not a valid argument. (Michael Greenstone and Adam Looney) notes, “In Apr. 2013 the unemployment rate for college graduates aged 25 and over with a bachelor’s degree was 3.6%, compared to 5.0% for associate’s degree holders, 7.5% for high school graduates, and 11.4% for high school drop-outs.” These statistics alone should put your mind at ease relieving concerns an individual may have in respects to finding a job in their field. Moreover, employers that can see someone’s passion toward the carrier they’re seeking will increases one’s chance of successfully finding

The Value of Work Experience A summer or part-time job pays more than money. Even though the money earned is important, the work experience gained has a greater long-term value when one applies for a full-time job after graduation from school. Job application documents (the application blank and the personal data sheet) ask you to list jobs you have held and to list as references the names of individuals who supervised your work. Gieseking and Plawin, 1994, 22.

Once Trought (2012) says that employability skills can help establishing success. Therefore, it is very crucial to review oneself as a first step.
As a student, it never too soon to look at the job market in which you will be operating as a job seeker, and at what can help you to maximize the chance of having a profitable job.

Those who leave the universities tend to get into tradition graduate professional fields, for example, medicine and law. In other scenarios, they have been accepted onto graduate management training schemes with prestigi...
The book Taking Sides- Educational Issues states that, “individuals who have attended college have greater work opportunities and tend to have skills that can be easily applied in different job settings”.
Employment opportunities are the way for highly educated immigrants for their better career. According to Glennie & Chappell (2010), employment opportunities always give to well qualified migrants according to their faculty. Preference always goes to skilled immigrants. Host country gives the employment to students at a better level of education as compared to already qualified. For instance, according to a SAMP survey on students which is occur in Southern Africa illustrates that students who have job they already far away from employment opportunities as compared to Lesotho and Namibia is students. Moreover, professional development is very beneficial for immigrants they can get extraordinary opportunities and access the latest technology and other innovative sources regarding to their field.

According to Dogra (2011), in
Employability skills and Career readiness have become an integral part of education. Employers are looking for people with a combination of skills such as soft skills, customer service skills and life skills. Not having sufficient employability skill sets, is one of the main reason for many students not getting selected in campus drives. Focus is more on technical knowledge than soft skills in their curriculum. During the course of their education , required level of importance is not given to key qualities like effective communication, leadership qualities, time management skills, self motivation, problem solving skills and creative thinking.
But still there is a vast skill gap that causes a mismatch between industry needs and institutional output. India being a nation with a high percentage of youth nearly 35% are between the age group of 15 to 21 who after completing their graduation are in a position to enter into a job market. But due to the lack of skills that are required for an industry many people out of that lot fail to enter the job market (Murugaia S. 2014) Employers recognize that “soft” skill development is essential for their employees. These skills are difficult to teach to employees once they are on the job. Therefore, they should be learned through development opportunities such as higher education (Arensdorf,Jill

Educational factors are one of them, but we think that only being educationally prepared will automatically lead us to get a great job.
