77% of recent graduates say they learned more in 6 months at their first job than in their entire 4-year education^ If your first job is a house, then college is the foundation. But it's hard to survive with just a foundation; you need 4 walls, a roof, electrical, plumbing, and more. College to Corporate helps build upon that foundation. It focuses on the soft skills & workforce intangibles that are difficult to teach on campus, helping graduates prepare to succeed in their entry-level roles. The author utilizes a 20-year career, lessons learned from mistakes made, and a lighthearted approach to cover what to do (and just as importantly what not to do) at your first job. College to Corporate works well as a supplemental tool for campus career centers, a company onboarding resource, or a thoughtful graduation gift. ^Workplace Intelligence, 2025
