Forty percent of full-time undergraduate students work, with the majority working 20-34 hours a week. First-generation college students are much more likely than other students to work longer hours and much less likely to secure career-boosting internships. Vote for our SXSW EDU session in PanelPicker this week, “Learning While Earning: Rethinking Student Employment” with Ping Shi, Principal, Growth & Strategy at Intuit, Louie Rodriguez, J.D., Vice Provost for Professional Development, Engagement, and Strategic Initiatives for the The University of Texas at El Paso, former Massachusetts Gov. Jane Swift, President of Education at Work, and Iris Palmer, Director of Community Colleges at New America to explore new models of student work and employment that are disrupting the broken economics of working while in college—and creating meaningful work experience for today’s increasingly diverse college students. #workbasedlearning #earlycareertalent #studentemployment #SXSWEDU

Great article summarising recent research on the widening gap between student and professional life and the impact on students becoming ‘work ready’. Some interesting factors impacting this transition, including unrealistic expectations of the world of work and the affect of hybrid working on learning on the job.

Students are less 'work ready' in their attitudes and behaviours than ever before: why this is, and how can universities and employers help facilitate and speed up this readiness are explored in this article I had the pleasure of co-authoring with Rebecca Fielding of Gradconsult. Do let us know if you would like to chat about the psychological techniques behind assessing, and enhancing, the work readiness of your early career students. https://lnkd.in/e6FnkGhV

This is why one of the REACH Collaborative pillars is Wrap-around Supportive Services. We need to do a better job of this, especially as we serve as the most direct pipelines to employment in the higher education space. How do we rethink and ensure this knowledge is included in the student journey?

Traditional college isn't for everyone (and there's nothing wrong with that). Often, it's the better solution for those looking to provide income to take care of their families, or fast track into their own business. That's where STARS Campus Solutions comes in. STARS provide vocational/trade schools the ability to track their students - from the lead source all the way to job placement (and beyond), to make sure their students are getting the education they need to thrive. We're easy to use, highly effective, and very affordable! https://starscampus.com/ #starscampussolutions #vocationalschool #tradeschool #adultlearning #studentmanagementsystem #schoolmanagementsystem #affordable

As the conversation around the value of higher education evolves, employers are recognizing the critical role that four-year colleges play in providing students with community, soft skills, and a well-rounded education. ??

At CapSource , we partner with colleges to integrate experiential learning directly into academic programs, giving students practical experience through real-world projects with industry partners. These initiatives build career-relevant skills and ensure students are better prepared for the workforce, while also fostering community engagement and lifelong connections.
