There are catholic students passing out of professional colleges, such as engineering, who need to be inducted into companies for which this forum should provide leadership and guidance. Whereas the number of people wanting to be entrepreneurs would be but a few in number, the number of newly passed out students would be much larger . The recession in the American economy the tremors of which are amply evident in the Indian economy as well, now coupled with fuel price hike has had a disheartening effect on the prospects of employment for fresh engineering graduates. This forum would do yeoman service to Catholics in the identification and creation of fresh employment opportunities to our youngsters at the earliest.
