The job market today is more competitive than ever. Employers expect graduates to have more than just theoretical knowledge; they need practical experience, problem-solving skills, and the ability to work with industry tools. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Layoffs<\/a>, there have been over 500,000 layoffs from 2022 until April 2024. According to Harvard Business Review research, AI could impact various job sectors, including writing, coding, and imaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Various reports indicate that many graduates struggle to secure jobs due to a lack of hands-on experience and familiarity with industry standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is where initiatives like HCL GUVI\u2019s C2C program come in. By working closely with colleges and faculty, these programs ensure students are better prepared to meet employer expectations and secure rewarding career opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
