What these businesses need is a return to office mandate. That’ll surely get the talent in the door.
Probably because businesses no longer train people. They expect the perfect candidate to just walk through the door, and if they don’t just walk through the door they expect to be able to hire them directly from abroad
Businesses are expecting the education system and the employees to do all the heavy lifting here. Their shareholders are allergic to investment in people and creating entry-level jobs.
“We’re facing skill gaps in the job market”. Son, you’ve added job requirements that require me to have experience with tools that were made last week, with AI that wants to replace me, and to pay me a workman’s wage for a management position. The skill gap is in between your ears, you gob.
Edit: *”The 2025 Skills Survey is based on the views of 281 CEOs and senior HR leaders”* AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I would predict that this thread will 99% comments about how employees are angels sent from heaven and employers are the devil reincarnated, and if there’s a problem it is definitely large corporations’ fault.
We have one of the most educated populations in history and a generation of skilled experienced workers across a range of industries.
“82% of businesses need to invest in learning and development teams”
One more time, there is no skills gap in the current job market. There is an oversupply of overqualified professionals who want to be able to pay their bills. What these businesses are talking about is they want highly skilled workers on minimum wage and no job security.
