Preparing Graduate Students for a Rapidly Changing Job Market
As artificial intelligence reshapes hiring and entry-level roles decline, graduate programs face increasing pressure to demonstrate strong career outcomes. This webinar explores the combined impact of AI-driven job disruption and stagnant job creation, and what these trends mean for master’s and doctoral students.
Despite networking being the most important driver of job search success, most graduate students lack awareness, skills, and access to professional networks. At the same time, they often turn to academic departments for career guidance—units that are rarely equipped to provide it. This disconnect leaves students underprepared for the realities of today’s job market.
These gaps have serious implications in light of Financial Value Transparency (FVT) and gainful employment regulations. As accountability pressures grow, graduate programs will need to ensure students are engaged in career preparation.
The webinar also outlines key barriers to engagement and offers practical strategies to better communicate with, support, and prepare graduate students for career success, including the role of scalable, on-demand professional development.
