Employers considering candidates to fill job openings are looking for evidence that college graduates can—or, with further development, will be able to—do the job. With this in mind, college students from the Class of 2025 entering the job market should highlight on their resumes the attributes and skills they developed in their classwork and through their various experiential assignments.
Data for the Job Outlook 2025 survey were collected from August 5, 2024, through September 16, 2024. Of the 237 total respondents, 162 were NACE employer members, representing 19.2% of eligible member respondents. The Job Outlook 2025 survey was also distributed to nonmember companies, from which an additional 75 responses were received. The Job Outlook 2025 report is presented in slide format; slides can be downloaded and used as is, or adapted with permission.
