Annual Report - Princeton University
Annual Report2016-2017
WelcomeO n behalf of the entire Career Services team, I am delighted to share our annual report featuring thepost-graduation destinations of the Class of 2017, the experiences of our students during the summer of2017 and our office activities for the 2016-17 academic year. To provide additional context as you review thehighlights in this report, I’d like to share responses to two of the most common questions we receive abouttrends in the employment market.“What are employers looking for in entry-level candidates?” We routinely hear this question from students,parents, faculty and staff. According to surveys conducted by the National Association of Colleges andEmployers over the past few years, employers across all industries are looking for critical thinking skills;ability to conduct research, analyze data and solve problems; professional communication skills; theflexibility to work both independently and in teams; and cultural understanding and global fluency. In short,all employers prefer candidates who have the broad intellectual competencies gleaned from a liberal artseducation. This is reflected in the diverse range of industries and fields pursued by the Class of 2017 acrossall majors, as well as in the significant growth in the number of employer relationships in new and emergingindustries of interest to our students.It is also important to note that employers are seeking graduates who have practical, work-basedexperiences—such as those gained through internships, on-campus jobs, research, global travel andservice—that demonstrate that they can apply their knowledge in real-world settings. Throughout thisreport you will see evidence of the many rich academic, co-curricular and experiential opportunities inwhich Princeton students engage during their four years. You will also see how our holistic model of careerdevelopment helps guide students through a process of self-discovery and purposeful career exploration,empowering them to pursue opportunities which align with their unique strengths, values and passions.“What is the future of work?” This is another very popular question in our field and the topic of much debate.There is no doubt that rapidly evolving technology, digital disruption and artificial intelligence will continueto have a profound impact on the employment landscape over the next decade and beyond. The Officeof Career Services is dedicated to preparing students for both the immediate college-to-career transitionand to equipping them to manage change throughout their careers. Simply stated, we’re not just preparingstudents for the jobs of tomorrow, we’re helping students discover how they can lead lives of impact in thenew world of work.We welcome your questions, feedback and partnership as we strive to create a highly personalized andtransformative career learning experience for all students.Eva Kubu, Director2
