With a manpower of over one billion, it is ironic that India suffers from dearth of talent and skill to fulfill the present day need of industry and as a result it is a serious challenge to mitigate shortages of skills required by in industry sector. Study reveals that of the 6 lakhs engineers that graduate annually, only 18% are employable for the software engineer-IT services role, while just 4% are appropriately trained to be directly deployed on projects. For core jobs in mechanical, electronics/electrical and civil engineering profession, only a mere 7.5% to 8% are employable. Education is a concurrent subject under the purview of the Central Government as well as the State Government. In addition, statutory bodies like All India Council of Technical Education (AICTE) and the University Grants Commission (UGC) have their empowerment by the Acts of Parliament to regulate higher education.

Depth Interviews

This study expands the understanding of the role of informality in post-socialist professions by examining the use of informal practices by an under-researched professional group of engineers in Azerbaijan. We use in-depth interviews with engineers educated in Soviet and post-Soviet periods to trace changes and continuities in the use of informal practices in their education and work. The study found that although many practices inherited from the Soviet period (e.g. bribery in higher education and nepotism in employment) have undermined professional standards, others, such as reliance on interpersonal professional networks and reputations, have helped to transmit professional knowledge and preserve professional values. We argue that informality has a dual impact on the engineering profession in Azerbaijan: some informal practices undermine professionalism while others help to sustain it.

Abstract Cluttering is discussed openly in the fluency literature, but few educational opportunities for learning more about cluttering exist in higher education. The purpose of this manuscript is to explain how a seminar in cluttering was developed for a group of communication disorders doctoral students. The major theoretical issues, educational questions, and conclusions are discussed.

Purpose The purpose of this article was to extend the concepts of systems of oppression in higher education to the clinical setting where communication and swallowing services are delivered to geriatric persons, and to begin a conversation as to how clinicians can disrupt oppression in their workplace. Conclusions As clinical service providers to geriatric persons, it is imperative to understand systems of oppression to affect meaningful change. As trained speech-language pathologists and audiologists, we hold power and privilege in the medical institutions in which we work and are therefore obligated to do the hard work. Suggestions offered in this article are only the start of this important work.
