Graduating without hands-on experience

While studying and attending classes are essential, she stressed the importance of gaining practical experience.

Students should volunteer in areas related to their studies or even outside their programs to build skills early.

She explained that internships and volunteering expose students to real-life work, helping them plan their careers more strategically.

"Or if it is a little business you start on campus, just do something outside school walls," she added.

Low industry presence

She also highlighted the value of making oneself visible to potential employers and collaborators.

Documenting skills, assignments, and projects can form a strong portfolio for post-graduation opportunities.

She recommended platforms like LinkedIn, encouraging students to showcase their achievements and adventures while still in school.

According to her, these steps set the foundation for a successful career and help students leverage their campus experiences effectively.
