Date & Time: September 17 2:00pm – 3:00pm
Location: Virtual

Join The National Society of Leadership and Success (NSLS) for a panel-style roundtable on what career readiness means in 2026, drawing on findings from the “State of Higher Ed 2026” report. 

Career readiness used to be a fixed target. It isn’t anymore.What employers want has shifted. What students want from work has shifted. And AI is rewriting entry-level roles faster than any curriculum can keep up with. Students, meanwhile, remain confident: 83.8% say their education has prepared them for the workforce. Only 37% of recruiters agree.

The panel will look at where the target has moved, why students are still aiming at the old one and what institutions can do right now to help them adjust. 
This webinar will discuss:

  • What recruiters rank first when hiring and why it isn’t what students expect 
  • The experience gap: only 19.4% of undergraduates have completed an internship, even though 94% of those who did say it prepared them for their career 
  • Why only 46% of students have ever used career services, when 84.3% admittedly know it exists 
  • How AI fluency is quickly becoming an employability signal rather than a classroom concern 
  • Practical ways to build readiness into the programming you already run, without adding to a strained budget
