Handshake’s Post

43% of the class of 2025 is already planning at least one career pivot -  according to the latest #HandshakeNetworkTrends report. And as an employer, if that doesn’t make you sit up, 87% of undergrads say learning and development benefits are non-negotiable when sizing up job offers. With these trends, plus the whirlwind of tech and economic changes, reskilling isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a survival tactic. Here’s what some of our @Handshake partners are doing about it: Perform Skill Gap Assessments: Get proactive. Identify the skills you’ll need and find employees with the right transferable experience. Create Personalized Development and Mentorship Plans: One-size-fits-all doesn’t cut it - it’s inauthentic and lazy. Customize learning paths and pair early talent with seasoned pros for that crucial knowledge transfer. Offer Diverse Career Paths: Clear paths for growth and lateral moves keep your workforce agile and motivated. Consider Multiple Approaches: Mix it up with hands-on training, self-paced modules, and instructor-led courses to cater to different learning styles. Adapt or get left behind—your choice.

Interesting insights from students in a cooling job market.

Below, Handshake shares insights into how the #ClassOf2025 is thinking about their careers. 

Our latest #HandshakeNetworkTrends report just dropped, and as usual, it’s full of helpful  insights for anyone looking to recruit the next generation of talent. A few of the data points that got me thinking: 54% of those with student loans say their debt is a major source of stress - employers, start highlighting those loan benefits. 43% think AI will increase productivity, but 70% think it should be more strictly regulated - upskilling employees on generative AI skills and showing how your company is using it responsibly is becoming more important. 46% say the outcome of the November election will impact their career - this workforce is paying attention to politics and the impact it may have on their futures. For more on what’s top of mind for the Class of 2025, and how employers can tap into these trends to build brands that resonate with Gen Z, check out the full report from Handshake

Key takeaway from our latest #HandshakeNetworkTrends report on the Class of 2025: yes, they see challenges in the job market, but they have BIG goals. They want an authentic, no-frills look at what employers are offering, from student loan support to L&D to what you’re ACTUALLY doing with #GenAI. If you’re looking to recruit the Class of 2025 this fall, now is the time to bring your employer brand (all the real reasons why someone should join your company) to life. More in the report 👇

Heads up, Algoras fam! Beginning this week, let's draw inspiration from this powerful #quote: "Perfection is not attainable, but if you chase perfection, you can achieve excellence." Don't get bogged down by striving for the impossible. Instead, channel that focus into excellence. Let's support each other, celebrate the wins (big and small), and finish strong. #motivationalquotes #algorasclouderp

Best place to get an intuitive understanding of Probability distribution, Entropy, Cross Entropy, and KL divergence. This will set a good platform to understand many of the GenAI models. Great video by Artem Kirsanov #GenAI https://lnkd.in/d3-6bBeh

Part 1: **The Fruit Fly Revelation:** As Dr. John continued his observations, he found himself drawn to a seemingly unrelated scenario: a fruit basket in the laboratory, attracting fruit flies. Intrigued by the intricate patterns these tiny creatures exhibited, he began to draw parallels between the behavior of the fruit flies and the transformation he witnessed in his Human Force project. **Autonomous F15 Eagles:** To his amazement, Dr. John noticed a pattern emerging within his management administration team. Individuals began to embody the autonomous nature of the F15 Eagle components they were emulating. The pilot exhibited keen decision-making skills, the navigation system operated with precision, and the command control team orchestrated the collaborative efforts seamlessly. It was as if the essence of the aircraft's autonomy had transferred to each human component. **Self to Intellect Transformation:** What started as a mere experiment in bio-ergonomics and machine science evolved into a profound exploration of human transformation. Dr. John observed the shift from mere self-awareness to a heightened state of intellect. The Human Force members weren't just functioning as individuals anymore; they were thinking and operating collectively, akin to the intellect embedded in the design of the F15 Eagle. **Exponential Multiplication of Efficiencies:** As the Human Force continued to refine its operations, something unexpected occurred. Dr. John witnessed an exponential multiplication of efficiencies. The collaborative dynamics improved not only on a collective level but also on an individual basis. The newfound intellect and autonomy of each team member contributed to an unparalleled efficiency that surpassed the sum of its parts. **Taken Over by Mass Exponential Multiplication:** The experiment, initially focused on achieving harmony within the Human Force, took an unexpected turn. The exponential multiplication of human efficiencies led to a collective transformation that mirrored the rapid reproduction of fruit flies around the enticing fruit basket. The Human Force, once entering as a unified entity, now operated as a massive, self-sustaining system fueled by the intellect and autonomy of its individual components.

COMING SOON... 🚀 We are so excited to announce the upcoming launch of IAI CATALYST, the first program of IAI’s new US Innovation Center, powered by Starburst Aerospace. IAI CATALYST operates through a business accelerator, focused on developing cutting-edge dual-use technology and fostering a collaborative ecosystem to accelerate new ideas and support emerging startups on their journey to success. Located in Herndon, Virginia, the global epicenter for defense, the program will focus on several key sectors that are critical to the future of aerospace innovation: Trusted AI & Autonomy, Sustainability and Energy Technology, Quantum Science, and Space Technology. Stay tuned for more information about IAI CATALYST and how to apply for the program in the coming weeks: https://bit.ly/3HiYwMz IAI - Israel Aerospace Industries, IAI North America, Noemie Alliel, Ella Barak, Avital Vilkin #aerospace #defense #innovation #startup #founder #accelerator #dualuse #technology https://lnkd.in/eEqdUQzj
