From Classroom to Career: How Gradence Bridges the Gap
For many graduates, the biggest challenge isn’t finishing university — it’s what comes next. Despite having degrees, countless students struggle to land their first job because employers expect “experience” that fresh graduates rarely have.
This is where Gradence steps in. By offering structured, project-based training, Gradence helps students and early-career professionals showcase real-world skills on their CVs and LinkedIn, bridging the gap between academic learning and workplace readiness.
Why Graduates Struggle to Find Jobs
Theory vs. Practice: University courses focus on theory, while employers want practical skills.
No Portfolio: Many graduates lack tangible work examples to demonstrate competence.
ATS Barriers: CVs without experience often get filtered out by automated systems.
Confidence Gap: Without hands-on exposure, graduates feel underprepared for interviews.
