Candidates who have hands-on experience through an apprenticeship, vocational training, or a related internship stand out at this stage.

A new grad-friendly posting typically notes that it accepts zero to two years of experience, values apprenticeship completion or vocational coursework, and does not require a long employment history before applying.
