Find your path: Access routes to a new job
Liliana CISMARIU
The intersection of employers' job offers and the expectations of the younger generation entering the labor market is facilitated through online platforms and traditional face-to-face interactions. For the younger generation, online platforms provide immediate access to job opportunities, allowing them to connect with potential employers with just a click. In contrast, traditional methods, such as job fairs, career centers, and site visits to employers, offer valuable face-to-face engagement. The job market has always been a competitive arena, and this research explores the common strategies employed by young technical university students in their job search. The study involved 1,695 students from five Technical Universities across four cities: Timișoara, Cluj-Napoca, Iași, and Bucharest. Data were collected between November 2022 and December 2023. The findings highlight several perspectives that should be considered regarding how students engage with both regional and global labor markets.
