Some people think that universities should provide graduates with the knowledge and skills needed in the workplace. Others think that the true function of a university should be to give access to knowledge for its own sake, regardless of whether the course is useful to an employer. What, in your opinion, should be the main function of a university?

In today's modern world, many students choose to go to university immediately after they finish school to acquire the knowledge and skills that are crucial 1forin their future workplace. 2However, there are a handful of people who assert that the university should 3give students access to knowledge for its own saketeach the students for its own sake without taking into 4considerationconsiderations of whether it will benefit the employer. In my opinion, I think the major purpose of attending a university is to gain knowledge that is useful in our future jobs.

In these times of austerity, people are spending most of their adult life in working just to secure a decent job. 5Most organisations will undoubtedly attractMost of the organisations are, undoubtedly, will attract the talented and knowledgeable 6talented potential employeespotential employees to work for them by offering a high salary. 7If a university is able to 8provide students with all the required knowledgeprovide the students all the required knowledge and skills which play an indispensable role in their prospective jobs, it is, indirectly, 9creating an opportunityopening up an avenue for them to get a well-paid job. As a result, they would benefit their family by supporting them financially. Thus, universities should teach their students about the knowledge that 10isare required in their future careers so that they can secure a well-paid job. In addition, 11most employers look atmost of the employers are looking at the academic qualifications which they believe will 12give applicants an advantage in interviewsbring them advantages during the interviews of job applicants. If the graduates are equipped with the desired knowledge and skills in university, they are more likely to be successfully employed owing to the fact that they can handle most of their jobs well 13compared with thoseas compared to those who lack certain knowledge 14in the workplacein the work field. Admittedly, it will help to lower the rate of unemployment 15which has become more severewhich becomes more severe than before around the globe. Hence, it is proven that the graduates with high qualifications and knowledge required in a specific workplace will definitely get a higher chance of getting a higher position in an organisation.

18In conclusion, if all the universities are providing their students with the knowledge and skills which are important in their future careers, the graduates can easily secure a decent job 19with high paywith a high paid in the twenty-first century. I believe that all the graduates will achieve their aspirations in their jobs if they are well-equipped with the required knowledge.
