The Association of American Colleges and Universities recently completed a national survey of business and non-profit employers to assess what employers are looking in post-secondary graduates. The survey found that employers want graduates who have:
- Skills that will enable them to contribute to innovation in the workplace
- A capacity for critical thinking, complex problem-solving, written and oral communication, and applied knowledge in real-world settings
- The ability to demonstrate ethical judgment and integrity; intercultural skills; and the capacity for continued new learning
