Polish students very concerned about future careers - report
11:23
Polish students and recent graduates seem to be much more concerned about their careers than on average across the region, a report on labor market by Deloitte indicated.
The consulting company pointed out that as such it manifests itself in the student's more frequent participation in internships related to their studies (+10 percentage points), student scientific circles (+22 p.p.), educational programmes offered by employers (+20 p.p.), soft skills courses (+13 per cent) and volunteering (+10 p.p.). Taking into account that Poland constituted almost half of the study group, such differences suggest that Polish students are substantially more focused on career progression and therefore are gaining work experience as early as possible, Deloitte reported.
What is more, only 24 per cent of Polish respondents assess the economic situation as good or very good. This is still higher (+8 p.p.) than for the CE region as a whole, in third place behind Lithuania and the Czech Republic. They also rate their personal financial situation as the second best in the region (+5 p.p.).
