Most Disruptive Idea 4 years of graduation turned to apprentice duration
By the nature of its operation, key asks from IT industry’s employees are to be effective in problem solving, decision making and logical thinking. They seldom use their non-IT engineering concepts at work. Hence a more meaningful learning environment that is close to or the real environment in form of apprenticeship will help bridge the gaps

My Favorite Idea
Gamify the campus to corporate journey with appropriate tools and levels
Gamification in learning helps to establish a sense of achievement; In a standard training model, trainees have the number of days to pass by as the counter to keep them ticking.
If the training is gamified with appropriate milestones and rewards, it could be very effective and trainees have something more tangible to look forward to than just counting days
