How can we take such a big, complex topic and bring it down to a manageable discussion? Jim Jump does this by taking research that shows how many young adults do not have a defined career choice when they enter college and how JumpForward Career Services can coach and mentor them through this process. The transformation is enlightening, and the interest in changing the career dialogue is what everyone signs up for!
Jump currently is the co-host of the radio show It’s Your Business, which has over seven million listeners in 100 cities and is broadcasted over the internet via My Genre Radio. Jump has also hosted a TV show The Business Roundtable, where he interviewed small business owners and shared a wealth of knowledge of how a possible interest of getting into the media business can be pursued.
Many young adults have to move on from their high school days and decide if college is the next best thing for them and their futures. Jump looks at the tradeoff of how attending a traditional college, a trade school, finding a basic job, or pursuing the entrepreneurship route might work best given all the choices. Jump uses facts and figures to help support each of the potential paths a young adult might take.
Jump uses the ten-plus years of his TV host experience from his Lindenwood show The Business Roundtable, and gives a wealth of information about how small business owners made their own decisions to pursue entrepreneurship and what they can tell you about their decision and experience. You will find this extremely insightful and come away with some interesting small business ownership points of view.
