In the Spotlight...

My name is Sheng Lee and I am a freshman at UWGB. I’m a major in Psychology and Human Development along with a minor in Social Change and Development and Education. I’m also an active member in SASU, P/HD club, Crusade for Christ, and PECA. The greatest thing I have done or achieved at UWGB during my short time here is that I have gone to India as a travel abroad during this past winter. Next semester you will find me either on the west or east coast on an exchange program call National Student Exchange. The year after that, I'll be out of the country!

Job Market Improves for Class of 2004
From Faculty & Staff Career Notes, January 2004

Recent projections indicate that employers plan to hire 12.7% more new college graduates this year. Even though today’s job market may be the best in two year, it still will be competitive. The Job Outlook 2004 survey conducted by the National Association of College & Employers (NACE) gives this year’s college graduates insights into where the jobs will be, which regions offer growth and overall guidelines to remain competitive.

Service Industry expects to hire 22.2% more graduates. Top majors targeted include Business Administration, Accounting, Economics, Management Information Systems & Computer Science.
Manufacturing employers plan to hire 3.4% new graduates. Government and nonprofit organizations plan to cut their hiring by 10%.
Internships are key as employers noted they plan to look within their own internship/co-op program before hiring from outside. In addition, internships offer the experience many employers seek and they are excellent sources for references.

Northeast region leads the way with hiring expected to increase 13.5%; Midwest is second with an increase projected at 13.5%, followed by the West region at 13.3% and the South at 7.2%.
