Newbies to the corporate world should not be afraid to speak about their personal projects and accomplishments. Eg having an article or comment published in a respected publication; assisting in a family business, learning a new language skill even if its a free course online. I look out for candidates who love reading particularly abstract topics not related to the business directly eg astrophysics, the history of language, vase making, the more bizarre the better. It tells me they are curious, can learn fast, and how well they present ideas coherently on the fly. Also a good indicator of what more they can bring to the existing work space where ideas and follow through are rooted in interpretation and initiative.
Extra curricular activities like joining sports team, peer mentoring, Drama , Music debate competitions are few areas which can provide you a good learning opportunity.
The school leavers & Graduates should participate in seminars held by different organizations where they can improve their knowledge and get an interaction with the experts.

Following the foot steps of father. If father is a business man, the child starts gaining knowledge in that business from his childhood from his father. For others, internship will play a great role.
Apprenticeships and Internships are often crucial to discovering one's career path.
Spend good time learning high market demand IT courses. For example, learn coding. Javascript is such a great programming language that someone has this skill, it is easy for him to move on to highly demanding IT skills/coding that are used in IOT, AI, ML and Blockchain.
Social Media is a great tool for school leavers and new graduates to follow specific areas related to their field of study. Eg. Mechanical engineers can follow various sites etc and stay in touch and up to date. They can attend seminars (often these do not cost much or are free) to also keep up to date with relevant industry. New graduates should also not expect to receive that Management role but rather opt for the low level role in the business and work your way up.
