Long Term Career Impact

Underemployment can permanently detour grads.

More than 40% of college grads are entering the work force in jobs not requiring degree.

49% of them remain underemployed 10 years later.

10% of grads are in low-paying jobs of $25,000 a year or less and about 5% are unemployed.

Significant Financial Impact

Underemployed grads earn 27% less.

Underemployment transforms  potentially high-ROI college degrees into debilitating long term financial liabilities.

Underemployed recent grads earn 27% less than appropriately employed peers; about $10,000 less per year.

Nearly half of all recent grads (underemployed-unemployed) are unlikely to recognize any financial ROI from their degree.

About us

We can help: Expertise surpassing best practices.

Virtually all college and university career readiness programs utilize “best practices” that are largely failing to optimize grads for success in maximizing their career potential.

Proof? Nearly 50% of recent grads are underemployed, in jobs not requiring a degree, or unemployed in a strong  2022 job market.

Traditional best practices are simply maintaining the largely- broken status quo and may actually be serving to sabotage grads’ career success throughout their career.

Our proven methodologies offer students in all areas of study the guidance,  knowledge and tools needed to maximize their career potential upon graduation and for life.

Our mission is to provide higher education institutions with the advanced insights, expertise, staff development and student-facing services needed to enable and empower future graduates to achieve short and long term career success in alignment with their life goals.

You are invited you to contact me directly to learn more about our services and how we can give your future grads a measurable advantage in today’s highly competitive graduate job market.  My direct phone number is 414-975-6288.
