Exciting Roundtable Recap! We recently had an enlightening roundtable discussion on "Academia-GCC Divide Impacting Talent Employability." The key takeaway was clear: there's a significant gap between the skills taught in academia and the expectations of Global Capability Centers (GCCs). This divide is affecting talent employability and calls for a collaborative effort to bridge this gap. By aligning academic training with industry needs, we can enhance the job readiness of graduates and meet the evolving demands of the workforce. Let's continue the conversation and work together to create a seamless transition from education to employment!  #TalentEmployability #AcademiaGCCDivide #WorkforceDevelopment #Futureskillsprime #SkillGap #Collaboration #Education #Industry #RoundtableDiscussion#

At The Management Recruitment Group (MRG), diversity is a daily practice. We provide DEIB training, but more importantly, we walk the talk.   Just one example, a story within our ranks – colleague Eliane Amend (Gen Z) mentors senior executive Matthew Evans. It's not a mere formality but a heartfelt effort to bridge generational gaps, grasp the pulse of the younger workforce, and stay ahead of trends.   I love working at a place where diversity isn't just a checkbox; it's a dynamic exchange of ideas and experiences that enrich our workplace! #DEIB #generationaldiversity
