College Graduates

Did you know that in 2012, there will be 1,781,000 students graduating from college with a bachelor’s degree? This is in accordance with the National Center for Education Statistics.

 
Of these graduates, I am sure many will pursue a master’s because of the lack of jobs and many will find employment in a field other than what they studied in college. We need to help these students enter to workplace.

According to same organization, employers are seeking the following traits:
Ability to work in a team
  • Verbal communication skills
  • Ability to make decisions and problem solve
  • Ability to obtain and process information
  • Ability to plan, organize, and prioritize work

 If you want to be a mentor to college students, please let me know. They can use our help.
