Check out this recap article from a recent panel I sat on to share advice with civil engineering students who are starting a new year of classes! #ASCE #ThursdaysAt3

Today and tomorrow, the Ministers for Education, Youth, Culture, and Sports are meeting at the Council of the European Union in Brussels. The skills shortage is a serious challenge for the European economy and particularly for the semiconductor industry. We must reinforce our efforts to attract talent to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines if we want to nurture a sufficiently large workforce for the European semiconductor industry! We ought to explicitly target schools, from primary level onwards, and universities. Expanding and strengthening dual learning (combining apprenticeships and school education) across Europe and increasing students’ early technology and industry exposure must be core building blocks of the EU strategy.

We attended our first campus event representing CMD Careers! Where better than King's College London! 💡 A massive thank you to both Minseok Ryu & Ekaterina Hunter for inviting us to your Tech event alongside UCL! 🤝 We spoke to 50+ students from ranging degrees such as Engineering to AI based courses, at all levels from eager 1st years to PhD students. Many of these students are seeking guidance on how to land their dream roles & which best practices will make the tough process as smooth as possible! 👀 We had massive interest in our 1:1 calls as it's the fastest way to take advantage of all of our free services, you can book in calls with either of us through the link in my bio!

It's college graduation time! When sending a congratulations message to graduates, Excelsior University wanted to surprise graduates with more than the usual letter, so instead sent a unique sticker sheet with a letter on the back. Read more about this fun project.

Today, we are celebrating the Class of 2024! What were the past four years like for BU's graduating class? Check out this video by Victoria Lee (COM'24):

October is the time when many high school juniors and seniors start thinking about their post-high school plans. They attend college fairs and schedule campus visits to find the best mix of where they want to be with what they want to do. As a College president, I love this time of year. I love seeing students get excited about their future and the possibilities it presents. That “a-ha” moment when they tour a lab, talk to a current student, or meet with a faculty member and that future comes into focus. October is also when Dunwoody College of Technology hosts its annual Visit Days for high school students. Held during MEA Break (Oct. 17-18), Visit Days is the perfect time for students to see Dunwoody in action, especially if they are considering a career in the technical or skilled trades. For many students, these are careers they might not have considered yet, and ones that may just surprise them if they do. Especially if they are interested in hands-on learning and a shorter path to the job market. Our country is facing a significant shortage of skilled workers in fields like #construction, #HVAC, #surveying, #manufacturing, #engineering, #automation, #automotive, #robotics, and #design. That shortage means high demand and job security for future professionals. These are also fields that offer great pay with opportunities for advancement and entrepreneurship. In fact, the average starting salary of a Dunwoody grad was more than $60,000 last year. But even more than the great pay in an in-demand field, careers in the technical and skilled trades allow students to build, repair, create, and improve. They offer students a future in professions that have tangible results and make a real difference in the world. That’s an “a-ha” moment we need to encourage.

How Is College Different From High School? When it comes to pursuing higher education, the transition from high school to college is a significant milestone in every student's life. College brings with it a whole new set of experiences, challenges, and opportunities that differ greatly from the familiar environment of high school.

If you know any first or second year engineering or business students at Oregon State University, Portland State University, University of Portland, or Oregon Tech, or especially if they are a community college student planning to transfer to one of these schools, then make sure they know about MECOP/CECOP! Applications are scheduled to open in Mid-February. Generally this is for students in their 2nd year who plan to start their 300-level classes next fall. 2nd year community college students should plan to apply in February, BEFORE they transfer. https://lnkd.in/gcfrejGQ
