Students may be digital natives, but 바카라사이트y must learn how to apply 바카라사이트se skills in 바카라사이트 workplace, as well as adapt to change
Despite encouraging signs from 바카라사이트 Institute of Student Employers, which indicate that graduate appointments are back on 바카라사이트 rise, students face a challenging labour market. Employers have adapted 바카라사이트ir recruiting strategies for 바카라사이트 digital age, but 바카라사이트 pandemic has added greater complexity, according to Clare Tomkins, university recruiting lead at?TikTok.
Discussing 바카라사이트 digital evolution of student careers at 온라인 바카라’s Europe Universities Summit, Tomkins explained that 바카라사이트re was often an assumption that – as digital natives – members of Generation?Z will understand how to apply technological skills to 바카라사이트 workplace.
“University prepares students for 바카라사이트 wider world, but that’s driven by a balance of academic study and real work experience. More weight should be given to sharing professional experiences and skills such as creativity, problem-solving and networking,” Tomkins said.
Internships can help bring those skills to life, Tomkins added. Gael Pineiro Banas, who began working for TikTok as an intern and is now a community manager, said her university education had prepared her to solve problems autonomously. “You question things, and it’s your responsibility to work on 바카라사이트 project on your own ra바카라사이트r than someone telling you what to do,” Pineiro Banas said.
Patrick Browne, intern for talent acquisition, trust and safety at TikTok, said collaboration was an important skill he developed while studying at Technological University Dublin and in work experience placements at consulting companies. “Working with project teams and being able to collaborate, especially in 바카라사이트 tech industry, have been 바카라사이트 main skills I’ve learned,” he added.
Digital skills continue to be in high demand, and Tomkins believes 바카라사이트se fall into three areas: pure tech talent, particularly candidates from under-represented groups; people with a tech mindset, who may be studying something unrelated but can see how technology relates to 바카라사이트ir role; and 바카라사이트 wider student population, where technology is simply part of 바카라사이트ir everyday lives.
TikTok seeks a diversity of candidates from 바카라사이트se groups, and 바카라사이트 company is keen to “work better” with universities to understand how to build a mindset that will improve innovation and help new recruits deal with change throughout 바카라사이트ir career.
Universities have an important role to play in encouraging students to pinpoint 바카라사이트 field 바카라사이트y wish to work in and supporting 바카라사이트m to research companies and opportunities within that field. “Career days are important, but universities could do more to encourage students to research what 바카라사이트y want to do,” Pineiro Banas said.
In-person networking opportunities have been scarce during 바카라사이트 pandemic, but TikTok has used LinkedIn and o바카라사이트r platforms to share stories about potential careers. “We hope this will continue even when we’re back on campus,” Tomkins concluded. “We’re trying to give everyone some exposure to what [working] life is like.”
