## Resource

Engineering grads are stuck—hundreds of students can’t complete their degrees because they’re missing the 800-hour practical requirement, with half needing to be real engineering work. Companies are broke, slashing internships and sending staff overseas, leaving students scrambling. One student spent a year hunting, nearly gave up, but finally landed a spot. Universities and employers admit the squeeze is real, and the fix? Be flexible, look beyond big cities. The market’s slow to recover, but the goal? Get grads into the workforce.
