BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – The O’Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs was named today (Nov. 3) one of SkillSurvey’s Top-10 “Career Ready” Institutions in the company’s inaugural awards recognition. SkillSurvey, the leading provider of talent intelligence and career readiness solutions, announced the “Career Readiness Leader & Innovator Awards” to recognize institutions that demonstrate success in career readiness.
“Our goal at the O’Neill School is to educate the next generation of leaders and send them into the world prepared for careers as change-makers,” said O’Neill School Dean Siân Mooney. “To receive this honor is a testament to the dedication and hard work of our faculty, students, and supportive alumni.”
The awards recognize top-performing institutions whose students received the highest evaluator ratings from over 60,000 supervisors and over 20,000 employers following an internship, co-op, or other work-related experience. Amazon, Apple, Daimler, Google, International Paper, and Northwestern Mutual are among the top-20 companies submitting the most feedback on students.
“Congratulations to the winners! We’re thrilled to honor institutions that are innovative in supporting career readiness using SkillSurvey’s solution, which provides students and campus leaders with ‘hard data on soft skills,’” said Randy Bitting, Head and Co-Founder of Career Readiness at SkillSurvey. “More than 170 higher ed partners are using SkillSurvey to bring consistency in measuring students’ readiness for the workforce, and we want to highlight the Leaders and Innovators for their results and commitment to student success.”
Higher Education partners used SkillSurvey’s Career Readiness platform developed in partnership with the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) to evaluate their students. SkillSurvey reviewed the student ratings of these schools and now recognizes the top performers with the highest-rated students. These colleges and universities have taken the lead to measure students’ career readiness in the competency areas that employers value most.
