Should Universities Put More Effort Into Students Getting That Full-Time Job With Colin Byard Ep.95

In this episode of the podcast I had the opportunity of interviewing Colin Byard, University Innovation Alliance Fellow. We spoke about the students getting a job after University and whether the University should make a stronger effort or is all the students responsibility. Colin gave some insightful tips such as journaling to learn more about what you specifically want in a career.   Here are some of the highlights:  [3:18] Workforce development in IVY leagues  [10:50] Do degrees really need to take the same amount of years for different subjects [14:50] The importance of networking and should it be part of the University curriculum  [17:20] What would you do if you had no network?
