This session will discuss the state of employment for students in terms of campus employment, internships and co-ops, and full-time employment. We will also discuss how the Class of 2020 entered work during the pandemic, as well as prospects for the Class of 2021. Attendees will also gain an understanding of real-time employment conditions, including employment projections from the National Association of Colleges and Employers and the Collegiate Employment Research Institute. The preliminary results of the Flyer First Destination Survey for the Class of 2020 will also be shared.
