Students are not waiting until graduation to figure out their career anymore. But many are still arriving there underprepared, and the gap between what they think they are ready for and what employers actually expect is wider than most institutions realise. The 2026 Student Career Readiness Report by Leander Howard II at WriteSea puts some real shape around this. Five trends stand out. ✔️ AI literacy is now a baseline expectation in entry-level roles, not a bonus skill. ✔️Skills-based credentials are outpacing GPA as a signal of readiness. ✔️Students who access structured work-integrated learning earlier show stronger employment outcomes across the board. ✔️Generic programming is losing traction, and personalised, project-based experiences are what actually move students forward. ✔️Real-world experiential learning sits right at the centre of closing that gap, and that is exactly the work worth investing in.
