Despite economic concerns, graduates are entering a relatively healthy job market that values distinct traits they learned during the pandemic
After spending a large portion of their academic journey learning remotely, the class of 2023 feels largely unprepared to enter a rapidly changing work force, according to a new survey. But research suggests graduates may be in better shape than they realize.and a high cost of living, the job market for new graduates remains relatively strong. Despite missing out on some traditional work experiences during the pandemic, many bring distinct skills and experiences that are valued by employers.
Despite valid concerns over a worsening economy and a lack of in-person work experience, Ms. Barroll says entry-level workers remain in high demand in most sectors of the economy. “Students would be well advised to remember how resilient and adaptable they’ve proven themselves to be,” she says. “They can use those lessons in resilience and adaptability to navigate a changing world, and they should take pride in the fact that they’ve done so well under such difficult circumstances.”
“Employers and the school advisory members are saying the same thing; that because of the pandemic students are pretty good at working virtually, but they are really not well equipped to come into the workplace,” he says. Mr. Donald says networking is especially hard for young people, as they have less of a network to build on. He suggests starting by reaching out to fellow alumni to request a few minutes of their time.
