In the modern era, the main concern for young university graduates is the difficulties they face in finding employment. The lack of sufficient practical experience alongside theoretical knowledge during their studies, as well as the preference for experienced candidates in the job market, make the first steps of graduates challenging. For this reason, young people often have to work in fields unrelated to their specialties.
According to Tehsil365, many young people identify the “experience” requirement as the biggest obstacle in job interviews. Students who do not participate in volunteer programs or internship projects during their university years fall behind in the hiring process. Experts believe that universities should equip students not only with theoretical knowledge but also with practical skills.
Specialists emphasize that strengthening university–job market collaboration and involving students in practical training programs during their studies is essential. Otherwise, even though thousands of young people graduate each year, a large portion of them are unable to secure suitable positions in the labor market. This, in turn, negatively affects both the social and psychological well-being of young people.
