But life is so much more than that. It can be understood in various ways, depending on how we navigate through its ups and downs, and the lessons it teaches us along the way.

The experiences I’ve encountered have shaped who I am today, and the greatest achievements in my life are not the tangible assets I’ve acquired.

By Padarbind www.mainstayabroad.com

Employability represents the educational outcome for implementing learnt skills in the field of job requirements & placement assistance. This is a general term to understand that to be employable, the skills are to be developed by training and facilitation. Academic curriculum and teaching methodology can  increase the knowledge and prepare us to be able to meet examination and succeed in academic career. Moreover, the realistic comprehensible facts are totally opposite of it.
