Nowadays, the higher education institutions are more oriented on enhancing

the employability of their students using certain techniques and methods. There is a

significant growth in usage of such practice as involving in work experience

programmes and providing courses and qualifications. Both of the methods have

proven their efficiency and now are showing high results in the universities all over

the world.

On the one hand, there are plenty of courses for every possible profession.

Moreover, any student has possibility to take part in one of them earning

theoretical knowledge regarding professional peculiarities. The method is easy to

implement in the studying year and may be a separate course. Certain universities

are providing their students with immediate aftergraduate employment taking into

consideration the certificate of qualification course accomplishment.

On the other hand, practical usage of the knowledge acquired during

studying years is a strong experience and motivation boost. Work experience

programmes grant both enhancement and, furthermore, understanding of the fact

that the profession is suitable for the student. Experiencing workflow shows

relatability of the graduated person to the kind of job he or she is going to be

involved in.

In conclusion, it is worth being stated, that highest result may be achieved

by combining not only the methods stated but also other kinds of practice. The

choice of job is a responsible decision though not irrevocable; people tend to

change profession through life. One should never fear having experience in another

field, since it may be an eye-opener.
