Strategic Opportunities for Bridging the University-Employer Divide: Preparing Students To Undertake the University-To-Work Transition
The aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic has created an unprecedented demand for career support from university students and seen organizations worldwide engaged in a fierce war for diverse early career talent. However, universities and organizations often lack the resources to meet the demands of students.
Moreover, the students who could benefit from career support the most are least likely to seek it, thus exacerbating pre-existing social mobility challenges. Taken together, this is problematic since access to career guidance is critical to enable students to prepare for the university-to-work transition, and access to career guidance gives students the best chance of a sustainable career.
Consequently, in this session, we will begin by exploring the role that university career advisors and graduate recruiters can play in preparing students for the university-to-work transition while also considering the benefits to various actors operating within a sustainable career ecosystem.
Subsequently, we will explore the barriers to and pragmatic strategies for collaboration between universities and employers. The session is based on my recently published book by IGI Global titled, ‘Strategic Opportunities for Bridging the University-Employer Divide”, which draws together academic research conducted by myself and others along with lived experience insights from practitioners.
