Lots of concern about AI killing entry-level jobs, but employers are ~2.5× more likely to say AI is increasing their entry-level hiring needs than decreasing them. Survey of 1,000+ employers by @stradaeducation and Artemis Strategy Group. What’s going on here?

My latest in @TheAtlantic: Eliminating BA requirements for govt jobs (aka skills-based hiring), as both presidential candidates propose, isn't good enough. We need to create better career pathways in fields like health, IT, and manufacturing. Don't just subsidize, build.

The man who helped land Amazon HQ2 sounds off on the region's workforce challenges.

"Internships are not a 'nice to have' in the job market ... Internships are critical for strong transitions from learning to work." says @StephenMoret, Pres/CEO of @stradaeducation and Former Pres/CEO of @VEDPVirginia in @RTDOpinions. Read more ⬇️⬇️⬇️ https://t.co/Wpf1zPsXJC

Universities are funny. Hey what if we took a medieval institution for training priests and aristocrats and combined it w a hedge fund, sports franchise and resort for teenagers Oh and it'll be the backbone for fundamental research for our entire civilization

“You look at an online job application, and it's incredibly user unfriendly,” @JosephBFuller says. “Companies invest tens of millions of dollars on user experience for customers, but don't bring any of that discipline to applicant experience.” https://t.co/xIfrGpDDd5

Finally, I want to reinforce that career prep is just one of several valuable purposes of higher ed. Nevertheless, most students desire and need a positive economic outcome from their substantial investment of time & money to complete a bachelor's degree. @ACEducation @HERIUCLA

How can we improve employment outcomes for all grads? - Ensure all students complete a paid internship - Share clear info on outcomes (wages, occupations) - Provide personalized education-to-career coaching - Expand access to programs with strong outcomes @stradaeducation

#Underemployment of terminal bachelor's degree grads varies by institutional selectivity, with grads of selective institutions generally experiencing better outcomes. Some contributors: differences in institutional resources, alumni networks, signaling, and pre-college academics.

Our new study shows how #underemployment of terminal bachelor's degree grads varies by type of institution attended. Grads of nonprofit private colleges and public institutions generally do better than those of for-profit institutions. @AASCU @APLU_News @CICnotes @NAICUtweets

We also highlight the link between advanced degree attainment and #underemployment. Those who complete an advanced degree (e.g., master's or PhD) are substantially less likely to be underemployed, but field of study still matters even at that level. @CGSGradEd @insidehighered

For the first time, we report on how #underemployment varies by state, with a focus on early-career college grads with a terminal bachelor's degree (i.e., BA or BS). @CSGovts @GOVERNING @IEDCtweets @NatlGovsAssoc @NCSLorg @routefifty @SHEEOed @statechambers @statesnewsroom
