College not preparing students for workforce, managers avoid hiring them, poll finds

A May release on the Resume.org poll said that “the class of 2025 college graduates [are] entering a difficult job market. Not only is there economic uncertainty, but hiring managers also express skepticism about the capabilities and professionalism of young workers joining the workforce.”

American colleges are not preparing students for the workforce, according to a recent poll, with hiring managers saying many graduates are entitled, easily offended, and on their phones too much.

A May release on the Resume.org poll said that “the class of 2025 college graduates [are] entering a difficult job market. Not only is there economic uncertainty, but hiring managers also express skepticism about the capabilities and professionalism of young workers joining the workforce.”

The poll was conducted in April by Resume.org – a website that helps with resume writing – and surveyed 1,000 hiring managers.

According to the poll, “8 in 10 hiring managers say a recent college graduate didn’t work out at their company in the past year, and 65% say they had to fire one.”

“Most companies (90%) say they hired recent college graduates in the past year,” the release said. “However, only 17% of those companies say all of these hires were successful.”

“The majority, 70%, say that only some of the hires worked out, and 13% say that only a few of their recent grad hires worked out,” while “1% say that none of them were successful,” the release said.

  1. College is a big waste of money. Go to a trade school instead where you will learn something other than how to party.
