A 2023 survey indicated many recent graduates feel inadequately prepared for the workforce, highlighting the need for targeted career development. Institutions like Beacon College have launched initiatives tailored for neurodiverse learners, including a career fair designed to connect these students with inclusive employers. Such events aim to alleviate anxiety around traditional networking formats. Additionally, Kennesaw State University supports student athletes through innovative networking events, recognizing their unique scheduling challenges. Overall, focused programming can enhance career readiness in diverse student populations.
ICAN is designed to remove barriers and reduce anxiety often associated with large-scale 'convention center' type events, so Beacon College can empower neurodivergent college students.
A 2023 survey by Cengage found that one-third of recent graduates felt underqualified for entry-level roles, and only 41 percent believed their program taught them the skills needed.
