Join us for the release of a new research report on the labor market experiences of recent college graduates from the Boston Public Schools. The report, authored by researchers from the Boston Private Industry Council, Burning Glass Technologies and NextGen Talent, examines how well graduates of local four-year colleges and universities are connecting to internships and landing “that good first job” after graduation. The research also assesses the existing capacity in Greater Boston to provide students with comprehensive career supports and offers recommendations to strengthen their connections to the workforce.
