Learnerships, internships, and portfolio assessments are helping companies find ready-to-work talent. Real skills = real impact from day one.

Youth unemployment is high, but skills-based hiring opens doors for talented candidates who may not tick all traditional boxes.

Employers are shifting focus: what candidates CAN DO matters more than what they STUDIED. Practical experience, problem-solving, and adaptability are key.

So to Employers and HR Leaders: how do you define “work readiness”? And what skills matter most for entry-level success in your organisation? Reply below, your insight helps shape our next pilot. #HRcommunity #talentpipeline

The solution isn’t just training, it’s co-creation. When business, learning institutions, and youth programmes align, readiness becomes a shared outcome, not an individual burden. #collaboration #skillsecosystem

At shaper, we see hundreds more of youth apply for opportunities every month. Most aren’t “unready”, They’re underexposed to the realities of modern work environments. #youthemployment #learningculture

Traditional education equips graduate with knowledge. But employers need something different 👉🏾 adaptability 👉🏾 initiative 👉🏾 digital fluency 👉🏾 communication & Collaboration #futureskills #talentdevelopment

We often say graduates aren’t “ready”. But what were really noticing is a mismatch between what the world of work demands and how we prepare young people for it #employability #workreadiness
