Students coming out of college assume they are prepared to take on the work world, but that is not always the case. In a recent study by the National Association of Colleges and Employers, there was disparity between what employers look for in a college graduate and what qualities colleges feel are important for students to have. Both agreed on ethics and integrity as being important qualities in a college graduate, but after that they disagree. What both parties have learned is that closer collaboration will help schools better prepare students for the work world and life after graduation.
