2018 Future Workforce Survey: Spring 2018

The fifth annual McGraw Hill Future Workforce Survey, representing over 1,000 college students, looks at their confidence, motivation, influences, and job prospects as they prepare for their future careers. Highlights from this year’s survey include: (1) college preparedness: details of which aspects of college life students feel prepared or unprepared for; (2) career preparedness: perceptions of preparedness vary widely across gender and other student groups; (3) workforce skills and resources: largely, students don’t feel they’ve gained critical career skills and are seeking additional help; and (4) jobs and employer perceptions: undergrads are confident about landing a job but a big gap remains between student and employer perception of preparedness.
