From the NYTimes: http://nyti.ms/1qtDkFp.
Very few colleges/universities are preparing our graduates for life. That may have been okay years ago, but not now. Courses preparing you to find a job/career should be required to graduate and should start early--by second year the latest.
There should be a dedicated office and staff within schools to meet this huge need. It should be staffed by people who have real world experience (corporate HR and recruiters for example) not academics. Helping to direct these students to areas of greatest need and opportunity is key. Start the experience building early in the summer and on-campus. Help the students to navigate the world of social media early--for business purposes not social.
There are many companies that are looking for a bargain--someone they can bring in on the cheap but has a little bit of experience so they can help immediately.
