Despite record numbers of college graduates, employers continue to struggle to fill critical early-career roles—and the disconnect is growing. Graduate underemployment, credential inflation, and misaligned hiring requirements have created a workforce paradox: students face limited access to opportunity, while employers face limited access to job-ready talent.
In this 30-minute, research-led webinar, Matt Sigelman, President of the Burning Glass Institute, shares key findings from No Country for Young Grads and unpacks what’s broken in today’s early-career pipeline. Moderated by Harrison Bass, Head of Education Partnerships at Forage, the conversation will connect research to real-world hiring and early-career experiences, highlighting how these challenges show up for both employers and graduates—from hiring friction and longer ramp times to higher attrition and unrealized talent potential.
