FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda The report carried out by the Work Foundation said more than 450,000 young people have been unable to make the transition from learning into work as employers have increasingly changed what it is they look for when hiring, with many under-25s in the UK unable to match the skills needed.
The report argues that as jobs have moved from production to service-led roles over the past decade, employers increasingly require “softer” skills such as good communication or working as part of a team more than technical ability.
The think tank said many young people are finding it hard to get their foot on the career ladder, because the education system has not adapted to reflect the changes and their skill sets are not in demand.
Almost half a million youngsters in England have no experience of sustained paid employment beyond casual and holiday work, said the think tank.
“The labour market has changed considerably over the past few decades. First jobs are now less likely to be in manufacturing and more likely to be in the service sector where skills such as communication, team working and customer service are important”, said Paul Sissons, the report’s author.
“For young people without the soft skills needed to access work in these growing sectors, finding employment has become increasingly difficult”, he said.
The report raises concerns about recent changes to careers advice and guidance services, which have divided responsibility for support between schools and the new service.
