A university cant change the programs it offers based on the job market. It takes decades to establish a program. From the facilties to the faculty. You cant build a specialized 100 million dollar nursing or business school and then scrap the program or decrease enrollment because job prospects arent great.
A university gives you the tools to seek employment. The rest is up to you. They dont have an obligation to get you a job. They have an obligation to educate you. It's your choice to go to university. If you think trades or colleges or designations will get you a better return for you buck then go for it.
Even though they dont have to universities have been doing a lot to help nee graduates secure jobs through job posting boards, alumni networks, and campus recruitment visits.
