From my experience and observations, companies want to hire work-ready engineers and technicians. They prefer to hire someone who can hit the ground running.
If they can't find such candidates locally they import candidates from other locations including other countries to supplement the need for the experienced workforce,
As for new knowledge to excel 3-5 years into their career, it's a valid point. And can be taken into the account in continues development.
This can be done by engineers doing all the studying on their own or sponsored by employers who usually offer tuition assistance in some form.
Obviously registered Engineers and Technicians will have their CPD requirements and diversified with academic and professional courses.
Masters level education can be used for CEng registration for the engineers who are working on their UK-SPEC - compliance for registration.
This can help the engineers to be ready for changes that will add new knowledge to excel 3-5 years into their career.
The far worse situation if newly graduated engineers cant find employment and getting out of the profession altogether.
A good childhood friend with Bachelors and Mater's degree in Aeronautical Engineering from the University of Maryland, after years of not being able to secure employment in that field, is now a DBA working in IT. In his case, it turned out to be not bad as he is able to honourably provide for his family.
The advanced education is a plus, but he is working alongside persons who specialized in DBA professional training and certification.
His skills are needed and serving him well into his mid 50's. Unlike some space Engineers who are in his age and now working as security guards or taxi drivers. But yes Robert a neighbour, was able to transform into college instructor.
