Our Founder, Kawekwa Douglas Fur , joined ๐ ๐ฟ. ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ป๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฑ ๐ข๐ฐ๐ต๐ฎ๐ป, Dean of Students at CUU, for the inaugural session:

The dialogue addressed the challenges facing todayโs graduates.
โs job market remains difficult, particularly for young professionals, with many entering informal employment while relatively few access higher-paying formal opportunities. Within the CUU context, the Dean shared that approximately 60% of this yearโs graduates are already employed, with roughly half being self-employed.
The question is no longer simply:
โ๐ช๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ด๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฒ ๐ฑ๐ผ ๐๐ผ๐ ๐ต๐ฎ๐๐ฒ?โ
It is increasingly:
โ๐ช๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ป ๐๐ผ๐ ๐ฑ๐ผ, ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ๐บ๐ ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ป ๐๐ผ๐ ๐๐ผ๐น๐๐ฒ, ๐ต๐ผ๐ ๐๐ฒ๐น๐น ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ป ๐๐ผ๐ ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ธ ๐๐ถ๐๐ต ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ผ๐ฝ๐น๐ฒ, ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐ฒ๐๐ถ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ป ๐๐ผ๐ ๐๐ต๐ผ๐?โ
Participants were encouraged to move beyond a credentials-focused and begin building practical capability and demonstrable evidence while still at .
Employers increasingly seek people who can:

Burnout, anxiety, poor routines and unmanaged pressure can compromise focus and consistency. Sleep, emotional regulation, self-awareness and early help-seeking help sustain employability.
In the age of , our message was simple:

Judgement, ethics, empathy, context, creativity and responsibility remain human advantages.
For CUU students, every class, club, project, volunteer opportunity, mentorship conversation and challenge can become evidence of employability.
