Are you a Career Services/Activities Director and struggling to help your students keep up with industry trends, the rapidly changing job market, or looking for innovative ways to prepare them for success after graduation? 

 

If any of these resonate, you do not have to face this challenge alone. As a professional with 20+ years working in the STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and math) industry, I have first hand knowledge and experience that can prepare your students to step out confidently after graduation. Through uniquely curated workshops and career readiness training, students will learn and develop leadership skills and receive actionable strategies they can implement immediately- even before they graduate!

As a STEAM Industry Leader, Scientist, Author, Entrepreneur and Licensed Dance Minister

I acquired 20+ years of experience leading within the pharmaceutical preclinical research & development industry.

 

Benefits of preparing students now for success after graduation:

  • Enhances the reputation of the department and the institution

  • Improves student satisfaction and retention rates

  • Strengthens relationships with alumni and industry partners

  • Highlights the university's commitment to student success, making it more attractive to prospective students

The Industry Dilemma

Recent articles highlight that Generation Z college graduates are being fired at high rates. According to an article published by Intelligent (Sep 2024), 75% of companies report that some or all of the recent college graduates they hired within the year were unsatisfactory

Additionally…..

 

  • 6 in 10 companies fired a recent college graduate they hired within the year

  • 1 in 6 hiring managers say they are hesitant to hire from this cohort

  • Hiring managers say recent college grads are unprepared for the workforce, can’t handle the workload, and are unprofessional

  • 1 in 7 companies may refrain from hiring recent college graduates in 2025

  • 9 in 10 hiring managers say recent college graduates should undergo etiquette training

The truth is, there is a huge benefit for your students to take a deep dive into the essence of what they specifically need to be successful. 

 

Despite all the technical skills students gain in school, how are they gaining real-world industry insight? You know, those aspects and elements, dynamics and nuances that are not always taught, but caught- the on the job experiential experiences.

There are nuances I have gleaned along my career journey while working and leading within various organizations, including GlaxoSmithKline, Merck Research Laboratories and Johnson and Johnson, to name a few. Successfully navigating and building upon these diverse industry experiences have propelled me to success in my career.  I am excited to share these strategies with your students to help them step out CONFIDENTLY after graduation!
