I’m not currently working in the industry but based on what I’ve seen so far and heard from the people around me it is very difficult to get a job without some sort of relevant experience. I think that the students should make it a priority for themselves to look for internship and coop opportunities as early as possible. This will save them tons of stress later on towards the end of college when it’s time to look for a full-time position. They will have already made the connections they need to move further with their careers.
