      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.

      This whole thing stinks of businesses wanting an excuse to hire more cheap labour from poor non-EU countries

      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.

      Edit: prediction confirmed LOL

      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.

      I’m a 4th year in college.

      I’d say about 1/3rd of **graduate** programmes and roles have job descriptions (probably made by AI) that say that years of relevant experience is either preferred or in some cases mandatory.

      For roles explicitly outlined as for **graduates**

      They’ve become so unserious and unreasonable in their recruitment.

      The problem with these in-house reports is that they aren’t published or peer reviewed the same way academic reports are.

      This is essentially a business lobby group (IBEC) making a press release (run by all the major news outlets) about something it wants the Government to do.

      This is complete bull. It’s the usual “we cant find anyone” “labour shortage” etc. What they really mean is “We want 100s of applications for every role so we can keep salaries low”

    12. MainNewspaper897 on

      This is from IBEC. IBEC job is to push blame on to the employee.

      I think this is absolutely a problem rooted in business not training people anymore. It must also be said though that the entry level marker is absolutely saturated with business and law undergrads. It’s at critical mass. Those are good degrees, but the job market can only accommodate so many business and law undergrads.

      Grappling with paying a living wage and not exploiting migrant labour.

      So let’s now import more people to fill these gaps. Oh wait we have no houses.
