Between cramming for finals, devising thesis statements and killing it in Greek Week lip-synch contests, it’s easy to breeze through college without successfully setting up a path for your career.
It’s no wonder some future bosses are skeptical of recent grads’ readiness for the workplace: Fewer than 30 percent of employers think that graduates have the career skills they need to make it in the “real world,” according to a 2015 study by the Association of American Colleges and Universities.
