Abstract: This article examines the problem of underemployment among recent college graduates and proposes strategies for organizations and institutions of higher education to work individually and collaboratively to address this issue. According to recent data, over 55% of 2020 graduates were underemployed within six months due to factors like economic disruption from the pandemic, skills mismatches, unrealistic graduate expectations, and rising education costs. Long-term impacts of underemployment include lower lifetime earnings and wasted talent. The article suggests organizational approaches like internships, clear communication of needs, bridging roles, and mentorship to develop talent and connect graduates to careers. For institutions, recommendations include experiential learning, career education, industry advisory boards, and robust career services. Finally, the article proposes collaborative models such as curriculum partnerships with employers, employer-embedded teaching, shared talent databases, and joint roundtables to fully tackle graduate underemployment through multi-stakeholder cooperation.
