| Abstract | Research over the last decade has pointed to a soft skills gap between employers' expectations and students' workforce preparedness after they graduate (Stewart, et al. 2016; Hart Research Associates 2015). While public opinion often criticizes colleges and universities for failing to prepare graduates, there is also a disconnect between employers properly "signaling" the requirements they need (Tyszko, Sheets, and Reamer 2017) and students accurately conveying their skills that meet employers' needs. While research focuses on the presence of a skills gap, the following study sought to consider the student's role, by asking participants how they conveyed experiential learning in the hiring and interview process. The study consisted of semi-structured interviews to college seniors and recent graduates from a private university located in the southeastern United States. The authors found that most respondents only mentioned their experiential learning if they felt it related to their potential job. Further, respondents were unaware of existing institutional resources, such as official university credentials like comprehensive learner records (CLRs) to aid in the application and interview process. These findings have implications for institutional leadership seeking to support students in their workforce preparedness and post-graduation outcomes. (As Provided). |
