Learn how to translate your education into the demonstrable capabilities employers are actually looking for.

The World Economic Forum reports that 63% of employers identify skills gaps as their biggest barrier to success, outranking even a lack of investment capital. Employers are not short of applicants with degrees. They are short of people who can demonstrate job-ready skills.

The Skills Reset white paper bridges this gap. We have examined the World Economic Forum’s findings through the lens of graduate and early-career recruitment, consolidating data from 55 economies and 14 million workers into a practical guide designed to help you stand out.
