Five Skills that College Students MUST have to be Employable

As we all know, the job market today is very tough, including the job market for new college graduates.  In fact, a study by the National Association of Colleges and Employers found that only 24 percent of 2010 college graduates who applied for a job had one waiting after graduation.

In this workshop, Dr. Steve Safier, CEO of "Of Both Worlds," a firm he founded to help young adults find their first jobs  http://www.ofbothworlds.com , will lead an interactive presentation to help young adults focus on skills they need to find – and succeed – in almost any job. Participants – those still in college and those who have graduated over the past 2-3 years – will come away with a personalized plan for improving these skills so that they can increase their chances of finding employment.
