College grads leaving school with no way to show employers what they can do

Too many college graduates are leaving school with talent, ambition, and a degree, yet no clear way to show employers what they can do. The numbers tell the story.

• Recent college graduate unemployment reached 5.7%, above the overall U.S. unemployment rate of 4.2% (CNBC, Apr. 6, 2026)

• Underemployment for recent grads climbed to 42.5%, meaning many are working in roles below their education level (CNBC, Apr. 6, 2026)

• 70% of employers use skills-based hiring practices (NACE Job Outlook 2026 Spring Update)

• Employers rank communication, teamwork, and problem-solving among the top qualities sought in new hires (NACE Job Outlook 2026 Spring Update)

The issue is not talent, the issue is visibility, translation, and connection. Millions of capable people are still being reduced to static resumes, keyword filters, and outdated hiring systems that miss the full picture. That is why we are building Levii.

For employers, Levii makes talent easier to understand, compare, and align to workforce needs. For graduates, it shortens the distance between education and employment and helps move talent into roles that better match their education and potential.

Levii is not another job board, it’s a smarter path between education and employment.

We are building the future of workforce connection. Learn more and invest in our mission: wefunder.com/iteropus
