A study conducted by a Delhi-based assessment company found out that about 65 percent of college graduates in the Philippines do not have the right skills and training to qualify for the jobs of their choice, while one out of three Filipinos is employable. The National Employability Report―Philippines, conducted and released by employability assessment and job credentialing leader Aspiring Minds, showed that Filipinos would need more training and educational help. The study revealed that the overall employability needed improvement since about 65 of graduates were not employable in the job they want. Employability figures for various functions within the business process outsourcing sector also reflect the lack of sufficient and required skills among the total number of graduates who aspire to work in the industry. Aspiring Minds said most of the candidates showed deficiency in required cognitive skills, which most employers saw as an indication of trainability on the job.
