They are adults. They are transitioning to the big-wide-world
Universities are geered to this age group and offer unique resources to them, to help them, as long as they seek them out. Again, they are soon to navigate the adult world, on their own and that will be with no hand holding.[/quote]

Well as they "navigate the adult world" many will find that they prefer working for a different size company than others do.  I've worked for the 100K+ companies, 5K and >1K companies.  I personally prefer the smaller companies.  More personable, you are not just a number, you get better more personalized training (in my experience), better mentors.  Something to be said about meeting and knowing the CEO/Exectuive team at a >1K company---that would rarely happen for an entry level person at a larger company.   At small companies it does happen and is genuine.  My partner is an exec in a small company and pre-covid, they personally stopped by to meet all new hires if they were in the office/not traveling, the day/week they started. Now with WFH, they routinely have "coffee chats" that any employee can drop in virtually and many employees do take advantage of that.  They know majority of the ~1K employees. [/quote]
