Two Facts you Need to Know
To Prepare your Students for Success
What Employers want in 2021
What clearly stands out from the 2021 NACE Results is that having the ability to work in a team is the priority for employers – ranked as the number one skill they are looking for in graduates. It’s also no surprise that both verbal and written communication skills rank highly, and leadership skills round out the top six. These prioritized skills are all related as important interpersonal skills.
Are your students ready?
Research by Inside Higher Ed (2014) and Gallup Education (2014) suggests that 96% of chief academic officers believed they were doing a good job educating and preparing students for careers, while only 11% of business leaders strongly agreed that graduates have the necessary skills and competencies to compete in the workplace.
