Techway Placements continuously works hard to enable new graduates to get ahead of their more experienced competitors in the IT job market.

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, July 13, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ -- There are jobs to be had in the IT sector. As a matter of fact, employment in occupations related to computer and information technology is expected to grow by 12 percent in the next decade, much faster than the average for all other occupations.

Despite this bright outlook, however, many new graduates are still struggling to find a job. The cause is not just about employers having unrealistic expectations, but also about university graduates being ill-equipped for the real world. This is what one recruitment specialist is working on addressing.

Techway Placements, a recruitment and training specialist, is on a mission to level the playing field for new graduates seeking to land a role in the IT sector. On top of their recruitment service, they provide mentorship and work experience programs that are specifically targeted to help those who have just come out of college or university to prepare for the real world of work.

Through these programs, participants will have an experience that is analogous to traditional internship. Staff from Techway Placements will be the ones to arrange the placements with one of the partner companies that have signed up to become hosts for the participants. Once the 3-month program kicks off, participants will have access to a mentor, who will provide them with personalised guidance and support. Tasks will also be assigned to challenge and expose them to the realities of working in the field and at the same time acquaint them with the responsibilities that an entry-level employee is expected to accomplish. Completing the program will give participants critical skills and tangible experiences that can boost their professional profile and career potential.

According to one of the Techway Placements’ consultants, “We have noticed that long job quests are common among new graduates these days. The reason for this is because they do not have the necessary qualifications and experiences that will enable them to measure up to employers’ expectations. This always puts them behind more experienced applicants.”

“We wanted to level the playing field for them, and that is where our mentorship and work experience programs come in. By doing the actual tasks that employees do in a given day, participants can pick up the skills that will enable them to think critically, solve complex problems and work well with others. Through these, they can compete with more experienced applicants and demonstrate to employers that they can start at a higher level if they get hired.”

Currently, Techway Placements’ mentorship and work experience programs cover the areas of IT, cyber security, project management, software testing and data analysis. The London-based company noted that they hope to extend to other areas in the coming months or by next year to accommodate more new graduates about to enter the job market. Moreover, the programs are self-paced and undertaken on a remote arrangement, which means participants can do their tasks and build their work experience whenever they are available and wherever they are in the world.

In a job market where competition for roles is stiff, having the right skills set and tangible experiences are still the best qualifications to make a lasting impression to employers. Techway Placements’ programs are giving new graduates the opportunity and access they need to develop these qualifications so they can confidently step into interviews and come out with an offer of their dream IT role.
