No, really? 🙂 Actually, I have noticed this but only with some graduates — and not Camosun’s! I think… From the ASEE aggregator:
CBS News (5/9) reports online that according to a new survey from Accenture, “college seniors who will graduate in the next few weeks have unrealistic expectations of the job market they are entering.” The piece reports that while over 41% of graduates from the previous two years are making less than $25,000 per year, only 18% of respondents expect to fall within that range. The article reports that the survey “also uncovered a disconnect in workplace training,” with some 80% of respondents saying they “believe they will receive formal on-the-job training, but only 48 percent of recent grads said they received any.”
