Not university level information

The type of information they are referring to is not something that applies to a university level of education. What they are asking for is the specific skills on the implementation of technologies. For example, I can talk all day about certificates and the use of them in security, but if you ask me to work with them in StreetTalk, I can't help you. If I want to work in this area, I still need to learn the implementation of a specific vendor. They need to be looking to college grads, not university grads (I learned this a long time ago when I was hiring staff). The difference is that the college grad will not know the concepts behind the technology and may have some difficulty switching from vendor to vendor.
