Four letters in the November 2013 issue of E&T discuss the problems of graduates getting jobs in engineering. Andrew Mackenzie notes the large number of graduates wanted and the experience of friends who could not get the jobs. For Dr Courous Mahtadi the problem is the lack of specific skills and so the recruitment from overseas. Both Ray Oliver and Colin McEwan discuss a perceived problem of lack of business sense. None of these problems are new.
