Should Universities Put More Effort Into Students Getting That Full-Time Job With Colin Byard Ep.95

In this episode of the podcast I had the opportunity of interviewing Colin Byard, University Innovation Alliance Fellow. We spoke about the students getting a job after University and whether the University should make a stronger effort or is all the students responsibility. Colin gave some insightful tips such as journaling to learn more about what you specifically want in a career.

Here are some of the highlights: 

[3:18] Workforce development in IVY leagues 

[10:50] Do degrees really need to take the same amount of years for different subjects

[14:50] The importance of networking and should it be part of the University curriculum 

[17:20] What would you do if you had no network? How would you connect with others? 

[23:40] Fundamentals of networking in class

[32:50] College to career: new innovative things

[41:00] Social media: how we always only post the good parts about work

[49:30] Posting vulnerable and authentic parts as well

[56:00] Start journaling so that you can see opportunities to grow

The one thing that Colin would like for you to take away from this episode: 

Take charge of your career whether the university provides resources or not.
