Team Building - The Education and Training disconnect

73 percent of firms cited a lack of knowledge, skills, and experience as the deciding factor against candidates,

Third in a series on Team Building.

In light of the time spent in educational environments, it is surprising that 73 percent of firms cited a lack of knowledge, skills, and experience as the deciding factor against candidates, according to ManpowerGroup International. While workers are pursuing vast quantities of education, they are not receiving the education they need to be ready for the modern workforce in the eyes of hiring managers. This is clearly a major disconnect between the world's educational systems and its business sectors. The problem is pronounced in highly developed and emerging economies alike, sending millions of fresh graduates unequipped into the markets each year. Many expect that they will receive training on the job, or that their school certificates will be enough to qualify them for well-paid positions.
