I keep hearing that students are graduated college and are not prepared to handle the task at hand when hired in there fields.

Whose fault is that?

I think it's the fault of the person in school that is unprepared for their job...Why look to shift the blame anywhere else..?

I think education is only part of it. In any company the theoretical knowledge of things is far from enough. Such knowledge must be applied to practical matters. People who do internships (real ones, not just getting coffee) will be far better prepared once they graduate. People who learn everything by heart but have never worked will have a much more difficult time.
