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.

Budget talks bring hope for the unemployed, but retreat on RDI funding is a disappointment
Easing the ability to study while receiving unemployment benefits is an excellent decision from the government’s budget negotiations. However, curbing the growth of RDI (Research, Development, and Innovation) funding unnecessarily hampers growth and productivity.
