\nA new report says that over one in 10 people have no confidence in recent high school graduates.<\/p>\n

The Prichard Committee polled more than 600 businesses across over 20 industries in Kentucky.<\/p>\n

In the results, 44% said they have moderate confidence in recent high school graduates, but only 12% had strong confidence, with 14% saying they have none.<\/p>\n

The issue was broken down into seven areas, including critical thinking and academic skills. Professionalism and work ethic were the lowest scoring categories, with just 25% of people saying they believe recent grads are moderately or highly prepared in that area. Meanwhile, nearly three in 10 said they were not prepared at all.<\/p>\n

That said, the poll found that more than half of employers want to collaborate with Kentucky schools.<\/p>\n

Some school districts have some existing partnerships, including pages on internships, mentoring and job shadowing on their work-based learning portals.
