Working in group projects allows learning from different perspectives and developing collaboration skills. Therefore, students are advised to communicate openly and work collaboratively with team members.
Finally, students are advised to be realistic and flexible in their career planning during and after the program. As the technology sector is constantly changing, it is important that students adjust their career goals accordingly and approach opportunities flexibly. In the post-graduation job search process, it will be useful to think about how they can apply the skills they have learned in a variety of roles and sectors and to be open to a variety of job opportunities.
