TPO 09 - Question 3
Required Work Experience
The business studies department at State University will now require all students enrolled in its program to complete one semester of work experience in a local corporation or small business. It is felt that students will benefit from this work experience by developing leadership and organizational skills that would not normally be learned in a classroom or campus setting. Furthermore, the relationships that students establish with the company that they work for may help them to secure permanent employment with that company once they have completed the program and graduated.
1. Did you read this announcement?
2. Yeah and I disagree.
3. I don't think it will actually help students.
4. Really?
5. Why not?
6. Well, they talked about leadership and organizational skills, but that's not really the kind of work you do.
7. Like my elder brothers have the kind of jobs they are talking about and typically you are just there to do basic tasks like typing and filing stuff, nothing very meaningful.
8. Oh, so you wouldn't actually learn anything new.
9. Exactly.
10. Ah, I guess I see what you mean.
11. But what about the other point they make?
12. About this helping us after we graduate?
13. I don't agree.
14. How come?
15. Well, the problem is that there are lots of other universities in our area that have the same requirement, so there are lots of other students at these positions.
16. Yeah, I guess I hadn't thought of that.
17. So even if you take a position like this in a company while you are still a student, once you graduate, the competition for permanent jobs will be impossible.
18. I mean there just won't be enough jobs available for the business graduates in the city who will be looking for full time work.
19. Hmm, I see what you are saying.
