In this episode of Beginner Women, join host Katharine Cornfield and Graham Donald, Founder & President of Brainstorm Strategy Group, as they discuss what’s inside the minds of post-secondary students as they approach graduation, navigate the school to work transition, and figure out their first steps into entry-level employment. Tune in to learn how you can help support this major milestone for the Beginner Women in your life.Episode Highlights:Discover what’s top of mind at graduation and why it’s ok if bold ambitions take a back seat to getting grounded.Learn what employers are looking for in an entry-level hire and why employment experience is just as important as extracurriculars, even for students as young as high-school.Understand who the biggest influencers are when it comes to a young person’s career and education choices, and why the personal experience of parents isn’t always the best source of advice.Uncover the one major move parents can make early to ensure the beginner women in their lives get the right career information at the right time (and mitigate their ‘failure to launch’ fears while they’re at it).Debunk the myth that GenZ are lazy and finally define what ‘flexible workplace’ really means to early-career employees.For more from ambiSHEous™ and the Beginner Women Podcast, follow us on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook @ambiSHEous or receive updates straight in your inbox by subscribing to our newsletter.Recommended Resources:Brainstorm Strategy Group Future Workforce Conference 2019Canadian Association of Career Educators and Employers (CACEE)The Brainstorm Report: Student Career Interests Benchmark ReportUniversity of Regina’s Job Guarantee
