I want an opinion on whether, when those graduates start studying, they are given information about the systems. What drives them to start studying when work conditions and salaries are not strong enough? Students are still going into practice. What kind of information is being given to them? What drives it? When I worked in recruitment, I found that many of the incentives for working in a job were much softer than the work patterns or salary. It could be because of the love of the job. Have any studies been done on how long they have been in practice before leaving? Is it two years? Have they gone into practice for a while? Have studies been done on that? Is the information in the report?
