Lots of the skills and knowledge that recent grads lack is also the stuff that barely changes at all.

Some examples include business analysis, requirements gathering, basic stats, ethics, professionalism, code quality, code maintainability, leadership, management, testing, security principles, communication, etc.

I'm putting the finishing touches on a blog post with over 30 books that every programmer should read and lots of those book at 20ish years old. And the oldest book on the list is 52 years old!

The universities and colleges could do some much better.
