GIVE YOUR STUDENT-ATHLETE A CAREER GAMEPLAN!
Congratulations on raising a student who is not only tackling a rigorous academic playbook but also putting in the hard work, grit, and determination on the field! Your student-athlete’s commitment to both academics and team sports is a true testament to their character and dedication.
While we understand your commitment to investing a family fortune in their education, it’s crucial to recognize that unless your student-athlete dedicates time to their career development early in their college journey, they may be at risk of facing the following alarming statistics:
- Nearly 60 percent of grads feel their career centers/colleges did not prepare them for their first professional job search.(HELDRICH)
- Eighty-eight percent of grads leave campus after graduation without a job lined up. (AfterCollege)
- It takes the average grad nearly eight months to land a job (NACE)
- Ninety-six percent of grads felt they faced barriers when looking for jobs because of their lack of career preparation.(JISC)
Your student-athlete needs a career game plan!
Without a plan, their dreams could be benched. Research reveals a stark reality: student-athletes who fail to prioritize early career planning face a steep uphill battle in the job market. But there's hope! Studies by the National Association of Colleges and Employers show that proactive students secure significantly better internships and jobs upon graduation – with higher salaries and greater career satisfaction.
