Jobs for graduates

At a forum, a young girl asked this question to the panelists - 1 in 2 graduates from private universities could not find jobs for 6 months. 1 in 5 from the public funded universities faced this problem. What can be done to create these jobs?

I have addressed this problem in this speech on May Day. There are three ways to create jobs for Singaporeans:

a) Reserve jobs in public sector for Singaporeans
b) Make private sector employers prefer Singaporeans through wage subsidies (and levies for foreign workers)
c) Train young people for available jobs.
