Training while studying

Furthermore on the topic of training, I would like to add this that there should be training while you are in college. Since in this day and age, experience counts as much as college education there should be increasing emphasis on courses where the colleges can partner with industries to let their students get training while applying their education. I cannot emphasize this much more as I am also a student and there is that woeful inadequacy when you graduate and you have to compete with people who have more experience than you.

I have the theoretical knowhow of the education I am getting, but the employers increasing need employees who have some practical experience in applying that knowledge and that is where the colleges come up short. They leave it to the individual to find the jobs mostly for the financial reasons and when you are at least senior then they start to help you out but in the meanwhile the students who have the resources go out and are already working in their chosen fields have the clear advantage over the book smart people. I really clearly want colleges to assist and help students who have chosen their desired major to find internships and jobs for them and also for the sophomores who want to decide on their majors so that they are not clueless of what they want to do when they graduate and then there can be less of a mismatch of skills that are so much of a problem right now in the jobs market.
