As we prepare for student-led conferences tomorrow, I wanted to share a recent article I read in TIME magazine.
The article looks at reasons why college grads can't seem to find jobs. It suggests that the problems lie in a "lack" of certain skills among recent grads citing, "communication, critical thinking, creativity and collaboration, as the area with the biggest gap."
It goes on to say that:
"[a]s much as academics go on about the lack of math and science skills,
bosses are more concerned with organizational and interpersonal
proficiency...employers want candidates who are team players, problem solvers and can plan, organize and prioritize their work."
...
Organization. Collaboration. Self-Regulation.
Now where have I seen those before? ...
