New survey reveals traditional undergraduate education is not preparing students for the workforce - Erin Brown, Hult Blogs

A new survey sponsored by Hult International Business School reveals that traditional undergraduate education programs are not adequately preparing students for the workplace, to the detriment of both employees and companies. Startling feedback from respondents – including less than a quarter (24%) of recent college graduates who say they have all the skills they need for their current role – highlights the need for a new strategy from traditional degree programs. The survey also found that 77% of recent graduates say they learned more in six months on the job than during their entire undergraduate experience; and that a whopping 96% of HR leaders believe schools need to take more responsibility for workforce training.
