Abstract “There’s never been a brighter outlook for young computer science students than today” [5]. Technology has been growing so drastically over the last few years but higher education institutions do not graduate fast enough to meet the job market demands. Many industries and organizations have open positions theat can’t fill simply because they are not able to find the right person for it. Computer science graduates have some of the highest starting salaries and are in such a high demand that they can pick and choose the type of job and industry they wish to work for. This is because there has been a steadily increasing demand for bright graduates in all areas specially data science and cyber security. It’s important for graduates to stay up to date with the latest trends in computer science research, gain hands-on and team work experience, and be good problem solvers before graduation. In this paper, we will elaborate the steps that should be taken by the institutions of higher education in order to graduate students with this type of quality.
