To What Extent Will Your Place of Study Affect Your Future Employability?

7/24/2020

Choosing a university, you should know that your place of study is still a significant factor that will determine your future employability. Those students who pursue higher education in countries suchas the U.S. and the UK are usually preferred by their domestic countries. Many companies find it easy to recruit candidates from local universities. For example, Amazon started their businesses in Seattle, where they had access to human resources with degrees from the best local universities. Graduates from American and British universities can easily get a job in most developing countries. 

Below are some essential reasons why the place of study will have an impact on your future employability. 

Flexibility in the Programs Offered
Every major university located in the United States offers its own kind of educational experiences to students. American universities are said to be more creative in designing their educational curricula. Their programs are also revised regularly, relying on the latest research findings and developments in each industry. For example, a student who has applied for almost any program can take a basic programming course in his or her first year. A few universities even allow students to take courses ranging from engineering to history as a part of their basic program. This flexibility in the courses that are offered gives students a perfect opportunity to receive a degree that will further meet their employment requirements. 

World-Class Research Facilities
Companies operating in technology-related sectors desperately need candidates with a solid research background in many emerging areas such as artificial intelligence (AI), the internet of things (IoT), and blockchain. As most of the developments related to these technologies are still ongoing, companies search for mature candidates who can undertake independent research and have a sense of direction. PhD students from American universities have access to advanced research labs where contemporary equipment and research approaches are applied. Facilities such as supercomputers and electronic microscopes are highly beneficial for those students who wish to pioneer research and development (R&D). It goes without saying that studying at such a university will surely improve your employment prospects. Regardless of the frightening stereotypes, the degree of competition among applicants to American universities is relatively low because the demand for higher education is getting lower among the younger generation in the U.S. Only 48% of Americans in the 25-34 age group have a college degree.

Bright Entrepreneurial Prospects
The place where you study also makes it possible for you to improve your entrepreneurial prospects. Having participated in entrepreneurial projects or real businesses, many students begin to understand the key challenges associated with running their own business and the overall entrepreneurial career. Some of the most popular entrepreneurs from the U.S. such as Elon Musk started their businesses immediately after graduating from universities. The experiences gained by Elon Musk in his internship programs at college helped him in planning his entrepreneurial future. Nevertheless, another well-known American entrepreneur, Mark Zuckerberg, had to withdraw from his university courses to start an entrepreneurial career. Even though university programs do not necessarily raise entrepreneurs, they do equip them with some basic knowledge and useful social connections.
 

Demand for American Graduates in Other Countries 
Graduates of American universities are welcomed all over the world for their advanced skills and deep knowledge. Many foreign students who finish American universities leave for their home countries and immediately receive their dream jobs. Some graduates prefer working for a few years in the U.S. and then return home. The spectacular growth of many Asian economies over the past few decades is also explained by the inflow of skilled and knowledgeable human resources from developed countries. The number of graduates applying for work permits in the U.S. after finishing their colleges has fallen from 34% in 2016 to 8% percent in 2017. This may be partially explained by the tightening immigration rules issued by the U.S. government, but graduates from developing countries are still interested in finding a well-paid job in their domestic economy after receiving an American university degree.

American universities offer outstanding academic experiences that can be further converted into brilliant careers. Contemporary labs, access to practical knowledge, and a fruitful learning atmosphere will provide you with a holistic understanding of the subject you wish to specialize in. However, it is still your attitude, persistence, and efforts that will determine your success as an employee.
