Why Tech Graduates Struggle Today

Business - B2-C1 | Advance Level

Description

For years, everyone said “learn to code, the future is in computers.” But now, many computer science graduates are facing an overcrowded job market, sending hundreds of applications with no results. At the same time, companies are automating basic coding tasks and searching for soft skills like communication and adaptability.

We’ll explore how coding became a double-edged sword.

We’ll compare technical skills with soft skills in today’s job market.

We’ll share personal views on what really matters for the future of work.

This will be an honest and practical conversation where you’ll reflect on changing job trends and how people can adapt.

Questions list

1. When you were younger, what career did people say was “the future”?

2. Do you think coding is an essential skill today? Why or why not?

3. Have you ever learned a skill that didn’t turn out to be very useful?

1. Why do you think coding became the “golden ticket” skill for a generation?

2. Do you know people who studied computer science but struggled to find jobs?

3. How has automation changed the need for entry-level coding jobs?

4. Why do companies value soft skills more and more today?

5. What skills from humanities (like philosophy, sociology, or literature) are useful in tech?

6. Is it possible that “too many people learning coding” killed its value?

7. Do you think coding is still worth learning today? Why or why not?

8. How can young people balance technical and soft skills for the future job market?

1. You'll have 6 to 10 minutes to have a free talk.

Get ready for an engaging 10 minutes where you'll receive valuable feedback from your tutor regarding vocabulary, pronunciation and grammar mistakes
