Inside Higher Ed (10/23, Moltz) reports, “Today’s college graduates do not exhibit as much professionalism as their employers expect of them, according to a new study from York College of Pennsylvania.” The school is seeking “to rebrand itself as a place where ‘professionalism’ is cultivated,” and to that end “its newly created Center for Professional Excellence commissioned a survey of more than 500 human resources professionals and business leaders to gauge not only what they think ‘professionalism’ means but also how well the recent college graduates they have hired exhibit it.” Respondents said they “think of professionalism as being related to a person rather than the position,” and “the traits or behaviors mentioned most by the respondents as being characteristic of professional employees were “‘personal interaction skills, including courtesy and respect’; ‘the ability to communicate, which includes listening skills’; ‘a work ethic which includes being motivated and working on a task until it is complete’; and ‘appearance.’”
