Government should impose a tax on all public and private enterprises equal to 5% of their workforce to fund internship allowances for young unemployed graduates.

This would engage the private sector in training graduates. It could produce skilled workers and increase national income, but incentives would need to be more rationalized to ensure companies benefit from internees' contributions.

The Impact of Covid- 19 on Higher Education
The coronavirus pandemic has disrupted traditional student recruitment and enrollment processes. Institutions must adapt their recruitment strategies to focus on digital channels like websites, online publishers, and virtual communication.

Institutions also need to prepare for potential delays in exams and admissions by remaining flexible, and consider developing online learning capabilities in case extended closures require remote instruction. Overall, COVID-19 is accelerating the shift to digital in education and institutions must upgrade their technology and processes to engage effectively with students searching and enrolling from home.

Waiting to work in IT only after graduation?

- 1. Design Thinking Action Lab 2013 FEEL Explored by the companies Forgotten by the government Poorly prepared by the colleges By their own It’s easy to get a job in the IT area THINK The college role is to teach what you need to work on your career... And they’re not good enough in this task! The companies don’t hire interns to learn, but to produce as a professional - paying less (and with less ‘labor rights’). The government should have a role in the transition from college to market. Stimulate it. SAY Unfortunately, college today doesn't make you 100% ready to enter the market. If you really want to be well prepared you have to take courses, trainings, certifications. Anyway, enrich the curriculum to have a differential against the competition. The problem is that here (Florianópolis), as it has much offer, the interns are highly demanded and companies want to pay little. Hence, the interns' change is high It could be something in the form of agreements with colleges. The government could support more, perhaps lowering taxes for companies that hire graduates. Stuff like that. That bring benefits to the company and encourage them to seek professionals without experience. Each one has to learn to walk by his own legs, without depending on help from an institution (college) that does not have this task (inclusion in the market). Perhaps the government should have a program for this...
