Student guilds score high on belonging – Inclusion still a work in progress
Over 80 per cent of students in the field of technology agree they feel accepted, can be themselves, and perceive the atmosphere of the guild or the degree association as good. The guilds have successfully deployed practices supporting equity. TEK Student Survey highlights some of the remaining challenges, for example a language barrier hindering the opportunities of English-speaking students.

Toddlers torpedo incomes – but only for women
Having a child substantially reduces a woman's income, and the effect is long-lasting. Conversely, having a child is financially beneficial for fathers, according to a recent study. Workplaces do not always know how to provide optimal support for career development for employees after they have started a family.

Employment prospects looking increasingly bleak for newly graduated international experts
Only around one in two international technology graduates had a job waiting or lined up when they finished university. Improving the situation requires investing more in both students’ language skills and their networks by, for example, creating more opportunities for thesis work in industry.

Hidden jobs spark interest – here’s how TEK members have succeeded at it
Hidden job hunting is very relevant. Work life is changing rapidly, there is uncertainty in the labour market, and competition for open positions is fierce. Traditional job-seeking methods do not always yield the desired results; moreover, jobseekers are expected to show initiative and the ability to identify opportunities even where they are not yet visibly on offer. In response to this, TEK offers its members a popular online course.
