Employers now prioritize real-world skills over degrees in hiring
A new study by the Institute for Employment Research (IAB) reveals strong employer support for higher education’s role in workforce preparation. The findings highlight how practical experience, digital credentials, and AI skills boost a graduate’s job prospects. The research shows that 75% of employers favour candidates who have completed internships, apprenticeships, or community projects. These experiences appear to make graduates more attractive in the jobs market. The IAB’s findings suggest that practical training, digital skills, and ethical development are now central to employability. Employers increasingly value real-world experience alongside traditional qualifications. This shift could influence how universities design future programmes and credentials.
