About

Parker Dewey (www.ParkerDewey.com) helps address the challenges associated with college-to-career transitions. Specifically, Parker Dewey provides Career Launchers (college / grad students and recent graduates) the opportunity to work on professional, paid, short-term assignments, allowing them to demonstrate their skills and grit, explore careers, and develop their networks as they seek internships and full-time roles. Furthermore, these authentic, experiential learning opportunities complement in-class instruction, thereby improving academic performance and driving completion. Using data from these projects, Parker Dewey provides insights to college and university faculty so that they can better align curriculum with job skills demanded by companies. In addition, these academic institutions can more effectively engage alumni and professors as mentors, counsel students on career options, and support existing and / or prospective corporate recruiters. For companies, Parker Dewey provides both immediate support, while also helping identify and evaluate job candidates, including those from diverse and underrepresented backgrounds and programs. Through these projects, companies can better assess job skills, cultural fit, and non-cognitive traits (e.g. grit, communication, teamwork, etc.), thereby improving hiring effectiveness.
