3. The Skills Gap is real…
SOURCE: ManpowerGroup 2013 Talent Shortage Survey, Gallup Poll, The Chronicle of Higher Education, The BBC,
the International Monetary Fund, MSME 2015, World Bank
96% of US education institutions believe they prepare students for work.
11% of US business leaders say that today’s college graduates have the skills
and competencies that their business needs.
Fullbridge tackles the skills gap through a highly effective pedagogical approach
that actively engages students, drives peer-to-peer learning through workplace
simulations, and incorporates world-class coaching.
~5.9M middle and high skilled jobs are going unfilled in the U.S.
~7.8M workers are unemployed in the U.S.
The Business Roundtable employer survey found “the most serious [skills]
gaps are… ‘soft skills,’ such as work ethic, accountability and self-
motivation.”
Since this younger generation will switch jobs 15 to 20 times, employers lack
incentives to provide the necessary training.

19. Testimonials: employer feedback
“Why this program is valuable from an employer's point of view is you
know that you've gotten someone who's gone through specific training
and is prepared to hit the ground running. This is a huge advantage for
an employer.”
—Blair Barnes, Thomson-Reuters Corporation
“This opportunity at Fullbridge is fabulous for these students because it
provides them with the opportunity to establish a network early on, and
that is one of the most important things to do.”
—Deborah Bertan, Citigroup
“Our Fullbridge hire made an impact immediately. A lot of recent grads
come out ingrained in school life, focused on working individually to get
good grades. A mind-shift needs to occur to be successful in the
workforce. His mindset was better prepared and had that shift coming
in. He had self-awareness, awareness of others, and great teamwork.”
