As one progresses from academia to practice, one experiences a 180-degree turn of events from promising prospects to harsh realities. An over-emphasis on theoretical knowledge comes at the expense of field exposure and practically oriented modeling. This is a collective failure, with both academic and professional institutions sharing the blame.
There is a dire need for the formation of active intermediary authorities in all respective fields to facilitate a comprehensive collaboration between academia and on-the-job practitioners. Successful formation of joint platforms with active participation from both sides can gradually improve technical, social, and operational competencies, consequently bridging the gap between theory and practice.
