Parents

Whether you’re the parent of a college student with a pending internship, or you’re ushering your young adult into the world of work, you’re in the right place. Our mission is to help college students and grads develop the skills and competencies they need to be successful in today’s highly competitive workforce.

Although you’ve probably just invested heavily in your child’s education, evidence shows many employers don’t believe our grads have the “work-ready” skills they demand.

For example:

• Only 30% of employers rated college graduates’ work skills as “excellent” in an August 2009 study by the Conference Board.
• A recent survey of young adults reflected their sense of being relatively unprepared for life after college, both from the perspective of work related skills and expectations, as well as the personal transition to independent living.
• And, in an online survey at newgradlife.com, over 70% of respondents replied that they did not think college graduates had work-ready skills.

Through a research-based curriculum, we teach your grad what to expect in the real world workforce, educate them on skills employers most demand, and help them successfully navigate the personal transition from college to independent adult. In addition, we will help your college intern prepare for their work experience and strengthen their opportunity for full-time employment.

Degrees of Transition offers ongoing learning and development opportunities to help you through these early years of transition. Because while college may be over, your student’s education is just beginning.
