1a. A. Many college graduates lack valuable skills, job placement, and democratic engagement when
they emerge from school.

Justification:

Because Colleges have become more concerned with making money from the tuition that students pay than with helping students learn the skills that employers value.

colleges often do not, according to our research, provide adequate institutional supporttowards
apprenticeships, internships, mentoring opportunities and job placement services.”
