"In our experience, Masters students today simply cannot afford not to get real work experience. The labour market is saturated with freshly minted graduates. As a result, prospective employers no longer choose who to hire on the basis of University grades alone. Real work experience is a good way for prospective employees to stand out from the crowd." Jelte Harnmeijer, Director, Sustainable Community Energy Network (SCENE) |
