The document summarizes insights from stakeholders about graduates entering the job market. It notes that graduates feel there are not enough jobs for all new graduates and competition for internships is high. Companies are unwilling to hire people without experience, leaving graduates feeling they have no choice but to apply for any job and may need to accept roles unrelated to their field of study due to lack of opportunities. Graduates see finding a job as a scary challenge with overwhelming pressure to secure employment and build a career for stability and success in life.
Design thinking assignment 2
- 1. Say “There don’t seem to be enough jobs for all of the new graduates” “The only options seem to be Internships and competition for those is high” Companies don’t seem to be willing to hire people without experience “No one is willing to provide graduates with experience” Do “Research potential career paths” “Look for graduate roles or internships on job sites” “Apply for multiple jobs” “Consider positions that aren’t relevant to their subject of study” Stakeholder Insights People’s expectations of the job market and the potential for them to get the job they want is very low. They don’t think that companies are willing to hire people based purely on there academic performance, they need experience. Graduates go about looking for jobs using the same methods and employers offer very few paths to discover roles, as a result competition is very high. So people apply for a range of roles that they may not necessarily be happy with.
- 2. Stakeholder Insights Deciding what you want to do with your life doesn’t get easier and is scary for most people. People feel that because the chance of getting a good job is so slim they will have to settle for whatever they get. The task of trying to make such a big life decision seems to make people focus on the fear of failing. Why do people feel that getting a job and a career are necessarily the only ways to work? Think “The number of graduates exceeds the number of jobs available which basically makes it impossible to get the job you want” “The only way to get a job is through the normal channels” “Starting out by yourself is almost Impossible and making your own path won’t work” Feel “The challenge of finding a job is scary and the pressure can be overwhelming” “People have to get a job and build a career for security” “Without security life will be difficult and you won’t be able to get what you want in life”
