| Abstract: |
This paper examines the effectiveness of business schools in preparing students to be career ready at the conclusion of their studies. The paper’s thesis suggests that academic-practitioner nexus and collaboration is essential for students to be career-ready. The authors’ review of literature on career readiness identifies key features that appear to work well. The authors also offer positive suggestions that emerged from their respective institutions that make for efficient and effective employment. Activities and strategies that have not served the market well are also discussed. Are business schools’ stated learning outcomes and competencies appropriate for today’s labor market? The paper concludes with recommendations that are likely to be successful for both the academy and practice going forward for the next decade. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
