For industries to attract and prepare the next generation of engineers, they have to create practical links with academia. This will make it possible for them to nurture the future workforce long before they graduate and seek permanent employment. This can be achieved by offering part-time opportunities to students as well as forming working partnerships with universities.
Students who get opportunities to work with engineering companies should try to learn as much as possible from experienced engineers. Such opportunities can inspire them to work harder in school as well as guide them when choosing what to specialize in.
In this episode, Jennifer Bradford interviews Stephan Groß (Gross) and Enes (Enis) Öksüz. They’ll share their experiences as engineering students in Germany. They’ll also share how their exposure to industry whilst studying broadened their horizons and opened doors they didn’t even know existed.
