Only 11% of employers strongly agree that colleges and universities adequately prepare students for the workforce. Even though the top reason students go to college is to get a job, only about 1/3 of current students believe they’ll graduate with the skills to succeed in the job market.
“The ability to demonstrate these in-demand professional skills [like communication, teamwork, and critical thinking] sets our students up for success and ensures their marketable skills are front and center for potential employers and graduate schools."
— Mike Simmons, Assistant Vice President for Academic Affairs, University of North Texas
