6 in 10 companies have already fired recent college grads hired in 2024, with 1 in 7 considering not hiring new graduates in 2025 due to concerns about their preparedness, communication skills, and professionalism.
Gen Z employees often lack practical real-world experience and struggle with the transition from structured education to less structured work environments, requiring more guidance and hand-holding from employers.
Companies are using the economic downturn as a pretext to lay off employees deemed ineffective, including activists, lazy workers, and those perceived as entitled, rather than directly addressing performance issues.
The revival of apprenticeships is suggested as a solution to provide hands-on experience and teach trades or crafts, countering the trend of universities charging high prices for degrees that don’t adequately prepare students for the workforce.
The expectation that a college degree guarantees a job is considered a myth, with many degrees leading to significant debt and underemployment, while certain professions like teaching, medicine, and law still require formal education.
