New Student Orientation Program
New Student Orientation programs are implemented on college campuses across the globe to help usher in a new class full of young bright individuals; a quintessential moment for most if not all incoming students. These students put their faith and finances into their soon-to-be alma mater, trusting that they will be provided opportunities to lead to postgraduate success. Isaac Serwanga, much like many other college graduates, found himself in what felt like a peculiar situation when he realized far too late that he had graduated from one of the top institutions of higher education with no job in sight. Nonetheless, his situation was far from uncommon: statistics show that in 2015, 86% of graduates had no career prospects for their post-campus lives according to a poll conducted by AfterCollege.
What is the solution you ask?
A top notch education must be partnered with an undervalued skill set that has been here for generations before us and will continue to be here long after we are gone: networking.
When you bring Inform & Inspire to your campus, we help facilitate the transition to college by including our program in your New Student Orientation. Our program includes the toolkit necessary for young adults from all backgrounds to maximize their college years and strategically plan for their future.
The program is lead by networking expert, Isaac Serwanga, who will guide your students through a presentation that emphasizes diversity & inclusion, the importance of networking within the campus community and beyond, the power of service, how to reverse engineer your goals, and more. Along with the presentation, students will receive his best seller How to Network in College, a book that serves as a practical guide layered with action steps along the way. In addition, students will receive a networking journal to complement the books easy to follow steps.
