The Class of 2014, “The Most Indebted Ever,” with average student-loan debt of $33,000, needs jobs. However, according to the U.S. Labor Department, unemployment among 2013 graduates was 10.9%, still weaker than prerecession. What’s more, a 2013 study conducted by McKinsey & Company found that 41% of graduates from top universities — the presumably best and brightest — could not land jobs in their chosen field after graduation. Some 260,000 college graduates were stuck last year working at or below the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour. What can you do? Post a Free Internship Job on the SelectLeaders Job Network and take a free test drive of a recent graduate. In return, you’ll get an employee with the latest technology skillsets: Excel, PowerPoint, Financial Modeling, Argus, and with the energy and enthusiasm to get it all done right. The average hourly wage for interns at the bachelor’s degree level is $16.35, and at a master’s degree level, $22.50. According to the National Association of Colleges and Employers, employers made full-time offers to 64.8% of their interns. Our industry loves a good deal. Post free, try out top talent, and if satisfied, personally change, the Future.
