Among students who are expected to graduate in the current academic year, 30% are enrolled in a Science or Engineering program, 30% in an Economics program, and 40% in a Humanities program.

Hi
What is the probability that any student who graduates in the 
current academic year will get a job within one year after graduation?

 P =  .30(.80) + .30(.70) + .40(.60) = .69

Wish You the Best in your Studies.

How the question is posed in your post, it MAKES no SENSE.

Had the question be posed correctly, it would ask about a randomly selected student --- not about "any student".
