These should be compelling messages for young people who are considering their education and career options . We need to build awareness and keep providing touchpoints with the industry , so that when students come to make choices , we are firmly on the shortlist .
THE POWER OF UNDERGRADUATE PLACEMENT PROGRAMMES
There ’ s been a common complaint from businesses in recent years that graduates lack basic workplace skills , such as time and workload management . The obvious remedy for this is experience in the workplace and this is something we strongly support at Egress .
Increasingly , universities are recognising that employability skills are at least as important as academic achievements and they ’ re becoming more proactive about engaging with businesses to secure work placement for undergraduates . As a tech company , it ’ s our responsibility to reach out as well and provide meaningful placements ,
