Signs of Hope for College Graduates Entering the Job Market

Tri-C’s Claudia Motiu shares results of employer survey on ‘The Sound of Ideas’ show

The word JOBS with a magnifying glassA few months ago, the Class of 2020 expected to graduate and walk into one of the most vibrant job markets on record. Then came the COVID-19 outbreak, business closures and skyrocketing unemployment numbers.

So what can college graduates expect? The Sound of Ideas show on 90.3 FM/WCPN examined the issue April 29 during a conversation with Claudia Motiu of Cuyahoga Community College (Tri-C®) and other leaders from college career development centers.

Motiu is the director of employer outreach at Tri-C’s Career Center. She said new graduates will need to be adaptable, flexible and resilient as they look to turn degrees into paychecks.

However, Motiu shared reason for optimism. A recent survey of 1,500 employers by Tri-C’s Career Center found that almost two-thirds expected to be hiring once they reopened after the coronavirus crisis. Most of those jobs will be full-time, too.

“Surprisingly, it looks like there is hope on the employment horizon,” she told hosts Rick Jackson and Mike McIntyre.
