Pursuing Professional Development for Career Clarity - Mabel Perez-Oquendo, Inside Higher Ed

Ph.D.s can identify appropriate career paths by conducting a self-assessment, networking and identifying their skills gaps and how to fill them. Networking is a frequently discussed topic in graduate school. But while all graduate students know they need to network, they rarely have an idea of where to start and how to use networking strategically to gain career clarity. Graduate students should view networking as an investment with results in the short and long term; the more strategic you are with that investment, the better the results you will achieve.

Guest columnist: Oklahoma's workforce needs students to have literacy in learning - Drew Dugan, Greater Oklahoma City Chamber for the Oklahoman

The skills they learn in the classroom and school are only the beginning of what will be a life of learning. Quality education allows them to continue to acquire new skills, specialize in certain areas or create new opportunities. Business leaders hope educators, parents and students remember that the goal of education is not just to help students achieve graduation, earn a certification of skills or a degree. The ultimate achievement is to make sure the student ― the individual ― has the skills and literacy level that allows them to become productive members of the workforce, earn a good living and help grow the economy.

Inside the Booming World Where Students Buy Custom Term Papers - Jeffrey R. Young, EdSurge

It’s easier than ever to hire someone to write your school or college paper for you. That’s thanks to a booming group of companies known as the “contract cheating industry.” Many paper-writing companies try to project an air of legitimacy, with offerings like responsive customer service that let users chat right away with a live person to ask about things like prices. And those prices are pretty consistent—about $10 to $12 per page if you allow the companies a week or more to write your paper. That’s an average of $182 per paper, which in the scheme of college costs, may not seem like that much to a student.
