TYG (There you go)

COVID-19 AND WORK SHADOWING

According to new research from Prospects 26% of final year students have lost their internships as a result of the pandemic. 

Their biggest concerns are that there will be fewer jobs, internships or apprenticeship opportunities in their chosen industries.

It's hard to see the positives at the moment, especially if you've lost out on an internship, work placement or work shadowing opportunity ,TYG helps  build  skills and gain experience during lockdown.

In the survey of nearly 5,000 students and graduates, almost two-thirds of final year students feel negative about their future careers, while the majority reported that they are lacking in motivation (83%) and feel disconnected from employers (82%).

All these activities will build your transferable skills and demonstrate to employers your tenacious, proactive, outside-the-box thinking.

The economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic has been widespread, leaving an unprecedented 26.4 million Americans out of work. For young people, including students gearing up for summer internships and soon-to-be college graduates, professional prospects have been disproportionately affected.

Many internships have been changed,canceled, postponed or moved online. 

“Of the employers that are continuing with their internships, 75% have made at least one change to their internship program,” says Koc. “About 40% of them are introducing a virtual internship, another 40% are shortening the internship by delaying the start date of the internship and about 20% are reducing the number of interns they’re going to bring on board in the summer.”

TYG is a  professional virtual shadow application that enables interns to connect with professionals on field via audio video interface in real time . As an example a Professional service person equipped with Go Pro cameraon a house call can relay the activity and explain the nuances while he/she attends to the issue at hand. Interns can ask any specific questions, share ideas during the interaction. The interaction will be based on platform similar to Zoom,webex  which enables audio,vido interface in real time.

TYG Work shadowing involves observing a professional in their job to gain a better understanding of the role.Students and graduates often use work shadowing opportunities to get a taste for a particular job that they might be considering. Shadowing offers  experience  depending on its setting. For example, a nurse who works in an accident and emergency department in a hospital will have a very different role from one who works in a small community practice.The purpose of shadowing is to achieve an insight rather than to gain hands-on, practical experience.The possibilities of tagging with multiple Professionals who attend to multiple service requests gives interns a holistic experience in ways not possible before.
