There are some key takeaways in this WSJ article including the importance of choosing the right major, landing an internship, and holding out for the right first job.

When we started building URHired Academy it was all about helping college kids beat these odds. Your child has to build their story to stand above the rest. The internships piece of the article shows the crazy importance of capturing one. Not in this article but did you know M/S starts internships Freshman year? The MIT kids do.

TruMotivate is a powerful, practical, and affordable framework that can be incorporated into a long-term career sequence for students at all stages, starting with incoming freshmen and following them through internships and interviews. It centers on revealing a student’s motivation code — a unique combination of five top motivations and then connecting that insight to use cases in the world of work. *Orrell is a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute who focuses on the work force.

I believe getting hands on experience in your industry of interest is crucial, but I say why wait until one is in college and sacked with debt to pursue these opportunities. companies need to be offering apprentice programs for junior and seniors in highschool so they can begin to build real world work experience and get a better understanding for what they may want to major in if one decides to go to college. Plus many highschool students have incredible skills that are valuable to companies, building this talent pipeline prior to college will (1) develop relevant skills for future employees with real world experience. (2) provide further clarity to young adults about the type of work they may be interested in, prior to entering college. (3) help reduce the underemployment problem outlined in the article.
