How are Iowa graduates faring in the job market?
Historically, over 90 percent of students who graduate from Iowa are working or in graduate school within a year. I believe employment prospects are good for graduating students—we’re having a banner year in the Career Center so far. Everything we do in the Career Center is about building relationships with employers on students’ behalf. We send representatives to all four corners of Iowa and around the Midwest, especially Chicago, Kansas City, St. Louis, and Minneapolis/St. Paul. We also get out to New York and California. We encourage employers to do three things: come to campus to interview students, tell us about job openings, and offer internships.
