When only 11% of employers think new graduates are well prepared for work, and with the average college graduation rates falling to nearly 50%, colleges and universities are facing two of the biggest challenges of our time – student retention and career readiness. Without the right tools to measure the skills that make students successful in college and in life, our students and our future workforce are at risk.

Luckily, PAIRIN provides a reliable solution for colleges and universities to measure and develop the soft skills that are 75% of the reason people succeed in college, careers and life. The PAIRIN Readiness Management System™ helps students understand their strengths, maps their interests to potential career pathways, identifies skills gaps and provides on-demand curriculum to bridge those gaps.

By working with students and career seekers as well as the businesses doing the hiring, PAIRIN’s expertise in workforce development, combined with its depth of knowledge, makes its solution the most expansive and impactful in existence.

As soon as a student completes the 10-15 minute PAIRIN Survey, their results are instantly available, allowing for quick resourcing when additional support is needed. Two specific profiles applicable to colleges and universities are:

• Drop Out: Measures and flags individuals who are at-risk for dropping out

• Readiness: Measures the growth of individuals on their path to career readiness.
