Ready for What? Career Readiness in a Shifting Market
Career readiness used to be a fixed target. It isn鈥檛 anymore.What employers want has shifted. What students want from work has shifted. And AI is rewriting entry-level roles faster than any curriculum can keep up with. Students, meanwhile, remain confident: 83.8% say their education has prepared them for the workforce. Only 37% of recruiters agree.
Join The National Society of Leadership and Success (NSLS) on Thursday, September 17, at 2 PM ET / 11 AM PT for a panel-style roundtable on what career readiness means in 2026, drawing on findings from the 鈥淪tate of Higher Ed 2026鈥� report. The panel will look at where the target has moved, why students are still aiming at the old one and what institutions can do right now to help them adjust.聽
This webinar will discuss:
What recruiters rank first when hiring and why it isn鈥檛 what students expect聽
The experience gap: only 19.4% of undergraduates have completed an internship, even though 94% of those who did say it prepared them for their career聽
Why聽only 46% of students聽have ever used career services, when 84.3% admittedly know it exists聽
How AI fluency is quickly becoming an employability signal rather than a classroom concern聽
Practical ways to build readiness into the programming you already run, without adding to a strained budget聽
