🎓Young graduates face difficulty securing entry-level jobs as employers reduce hiring and use #AI to automate routine tasks. As reported by @AJack in @FT, business schools are responding by adapting their curricula to develop human skills employers value. bit.ly/4heUNCc

Business schools face demand for higher, ‘human’ skills

As AI erodes entry-level tasks, employers want ‘tier two’ abilities that young masters in management graduates once learnt at work

As a number of us has been saying, some of this is about policy shifts in anglophone receiving countries and economic variables. But some of it is also driven by deliberately expansive international education strategies in other European countries. And don’t forget the new destinations in Asia including Japan.

Very sad to hear The World Tonight is being axed by the BBC. Newshour is a great programme but it isn’t a substitute. Radio 4 and its audience won’t have a domestic facing outlet after 1800. I hope audiences now understand the challenges facing the BBC.

I presented The World Tonight – the BBC clickbait mindset has killed it off
