Pathways 2020 Talent Research

A groundbreaking research study that explores the issues from the perspective of hiring companies, the academic community and the students themselves. Solutions will only be found by bringing industry and academia together to bridge this talent disconnect.

Marketers and the agencies who work with them are facing an unprecedented talent challenge as millennials look to build careers in other fields. The study identifies the significant reasons for the ‘talent disconnect’ as well as AEF’s proposed Pathways 2020 initiatives to help bridge that disconnect.
