Manyonline students are non-traditional students, meaning they have full-time jobs, are married, havechildren, etc. Interacting with peers in online classes is crucial. However, for non-traditionalstudents', time is an important factor as they need to manage both their personal and professionallife. “Most of the posts they are not live.

It is imperative to enhance their comprehension of engineering disciplines,fostering a talent pool that aligns with the evolving demands of national growth andscientific advancement. This entails deliberately directing and motivating graduatestowards actively pursuing employment and entrepreneurial ventures within pivotalindustries, landmark projects, and other impactful domains. To achieve this, it isessential to undertake comprehensive surveys on the employment patterns of collegestudents and organize career planning competitions.

Often these expectedbehaviors make an assumption of life outside of the classroom which indirectly anddisproportionally affects students with part-time jobs, students with family responsibilities, andother non-traditional students.In an online interview with Cornelius Minor2 , he states: “One of the first aspects of truly inclusivegrading is understanding that the assignment doesn’t

Sometimes this isin the form of a lecture on new content that the students haven’t seen before. At other times,this comes in the form of answering a student’s question or explaining something to a studentone-on-one.

One such program, the Youth EnterpriseDevelopment Fund (YEDF), was a way to give youth-owned businesses the capital they need toexpand their business ventures. However, this program was plagued with corruption and hadvery little impact on the unemployment crisis (Ismail, 2018).
