Parents Role? Be a Career Encourager!

- Grads lose $4,000 - $6,000 every month they spend looking for a job -
Let’s be honest—college alone doesn’t guarantee a job.

Research shows that students who take charge of their careers early in their college experience are more likely to land internships, graduate with jobs relevant to their majors, and earn up to $10,000 more. (NACE)

We like to say, “No one is a born job seeker.” It’s an art and science that can be taught. To get their first professional jobs graduates need more than a degree—they need a proactive, strategic approach to launch their careers. That’s what we do!

Don’t leave your student’s future to chance.

Without proven career support, many graduates face unemployment, underemployment, long job searches, and even career disruption from emerging technologies like AI. Research shows these risks are real:

  • Long Job Search Time: Graduates take nearly 8 months to find a job. (NACE)
  • Underemployment: 52% of graduates are in jobs not requiring degrees. (Lightcast)
  • Unemployment: The class of 2025 faces record-high unemployment rates. (Bureau of Labor Statistics)
  • Displacement by AI: Experts predict AI will displace as much as 50% of entry-level jobs. (Anthropic)

But you can change the outcome!

By enrolling your student in the College Career Club curriculum, you’ll make their transition from college to their first professional job smoother, faster, and less stressful—helping them land the right job and launch their future with confidence.

To help you get up to speed on how you can support your students' awareness of what is involved in the job search process, we’d like you to have a copy of the ebook, The Unemployed Grad, And What Parents Can Do About It. and the companion workbooks.
