Seeking outcome-oriented colleges

[momofboiler1]

Our D’s experience was much, much more than just going to a school that promotes internships/co-ops. The career readiness focus permeated throughout her classes, projects, and conversations beginning freshman year. Exam questions are real world/company problems. Industry speakers routinely come speak to classes and judge projects. There are “field trips” to nearby companies, partnerships with design classes and industry, and the yearly engineering seminar classes are geared towards job finding. This year her department offered free one on one communications consulting for seniors. Students could tailor make their senior seminar experience as well so those who already had job offers could skip the job searching stuff and focus more on things like effectively network post college, how to negotiate for a promotion/raise, etc…
