Intelligent.com , but instead of putting the blame on G Z-ers, one expert told Newsweek whose fault it may really be.
The survey revealed that one in six businesses said they were hesitant to hire recent college graduates over concerns about how prepared they are for the work as well as their communication skills and professionalism.
And a whopping six in 10 employers had already fired college graduates who were hired in 2024. One in seven said they might refrain from hiring new college grads next year as well.
The survey looked at responses from nearly 1,000 business leaders in August, who revealed a strong skepticism from companies about how worthwhile Gen Z-ers are as employees.
"Many recent college graduates may struggle with entering the workforce for the first time as it can be a huge contrast from what they are used to throughout their education journey," Intelligent's Chief Education and Career Development Advisor Huy Nguyen said in the report.

"They are often unprepared for a less structured environment, workplace cultural dynamics, and the expectation of autonomous work. Although they may have some theoretical knowledge from college, they often lack the practical, real-world experience and soft skills required to succeed in the work environment."

"Instead of teaching new hires what they want from them, employers are simply firing workers for not being prepared. It's a cyclical issue that reflects systemic failure on multiple levels," he said.

> But according to HR consultant Bryan Driscoll, the problem likely isn't Gen Z, but instead the larger education system. >"As someone who went through years of education, including law school, I can tell you this: colleges are not preparing students for real-world work," Driscoll told Newsweek. "Education today emphasizes theory over practice. Sure, learning Greek mythology is fascinating, but unless you're teaching it, how does that prepare you to communicate effectively in a corporate meeting or demonstrate professionalism? It doesn't."

>>1347191 > In France, all entry-level positions now require the applicant to already have several years of experience in that field, what is immigration law like in France? In the US, those job postings are because we have something called an H1B visa, where employees can hire a foreign worker for a skilled job but only if they posted the job first and couldn't find an American to fill it. So employers will post entry-level positions requiring experience, and then when they can't find anybody, they use that as an excuse to hire an experienced H1B from India for a fraction of the salary. Trump tried to cut down on this and Democrats called him a Nazi. Now those same Democrats complain they can't find entry-level jobs because H1Bs are taking the entry-level jobs.
