Of course, he may have experience. By the time I graduated with my
bachelor's I had already done some actually-professional work as an
employee and as a sole proprietor I had invoiced and been paid for
several outside-employment jobs including various computer consulting
jobs (migration of applications and data from legacy systems, writing
bespoke software, etc.) where it was clear to the clients that I did a
rather better job than their regular consultants who were little more
than resellers. As well as having that personal experience, I also
(through helping with the family business - accounting, book-keeping,
payroll, etc.) knew a lot about various other local small businesses,
especially why they were going wrong, and had taken business courses
from local entrepreneurs. Unfortunately, I emigrated after graduating,
so I couldn't take any of my customer base with me! (The next time I
emigrated, though, I did continue some telecommuting consulting which
worked out well - indeed, I still do work for that customer in the guise
of my current business.) So, sometimes new graduates already have
experience.
