University of Wisconsin-Stout graduates are living up to the institution’s “Do More on Day One” slogan. In fact, many of them are doing more even before day one on the job market, with over half of grads accepting jobs before commencement – many of them with Fortune 500 firms.
According to a new report, more than 80% of those who received UW-Stout degrees between fall 2023 and summer 2024 accepted jobs either before graduation day or within a month of getting their diplomas. And fully 99% of recent graduates were either employed or furthering their education within six months of graduation, the annual First Destination Report found.
The companies hiring UW-Stout graduates include scores of household names. According to the latest report, over the past five years UW-Stout graduates have been hired by 125 companies that rank in the Fortune 500, including 12 of the top 20 firms.
