"Colleges rarely teach you what you need to know professionally - they can't, tech moves too fast. Instead, they teach you how to learn what you need to know. This is an important distinction because it should inform your approach to your professional growth."
That's B.S. that lazy college professors use who have their heads so stuck in academia that they don't take the time to keep up with technology. Technology stacks don't change that fast in the enterprise that they couldn't do a better job of preparing students and teaching them how to hit the ground running at a company.
During the beginning of 2013, for standard enterprise development, Java and .Net along with Bootstrap and Jquery were popular - they still are used today.
Back in 2013, the databases that were used in the enterprise are still popular today. iPhone and Android were the most popular mobile platforms.
Sure keeping up with the latest front end framework may not be easy to teach, but courses in JavaScript, CSS, etc would still be enough.
