Description:
Marketers and Agencies are desperate for “job-ready” talent. Colleges and universities are struggling to prepare students for careers in a disruptive world. The symposium will debate the disconnect between what students are learning and experiencing in universities and what employers say they need from their future employees. In addition, early findings from the AEF’s groundbreaking research will be revealed—the first study to tackle the issue of talent acquisition from the perspective of all key players: hiring companies, the academic community and most importantly, the students themselves.
