75. Career Prep 101

Have you ever wondered how well colleges and universities are preparing students for the workforce?  More to the point, have you ever wondered how the perspective of the higher education community compares with that of employers and students?  Well, wonder no more.  In this episode I’ll look at the results of several studies that will reveal how well higher education thinks it is doing at career preparation, and what students and employers think. And I’ll look beyond technical professional preparation to the soft skills that employers are seeking in today’s workforce.  In particular, I’ll discuss the value of effective communication in ensuring workplace success.  EdUp Insights with Bill Pepicello is part of the EdUp Experience Podcast Network.
