Human Connection: The Missing Link in Education-to-Employment Pipeline
The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) highlights the importance of human connection in bridging the gap between education and employment. Through initiatives like UStrive, a virtual mentoring platform, students are connected with professionals who provide guidance on career paths and industry insights. This mentorship helps students navigate the transition from education to employment, offering them access to social capital and professional networks that are not available through traditional coursework. The story of Ruth, a student who benefited from such mentorship, exemplifies the impact of these connections on career success.
