What Role Do Employers Play in Bridging Educational Gaps?
Employers have a significant role to play in addressing educational gaps:
1. On-the-Job Training: Offering comprehensive onboarding programs and continuous training opportunities can help employees acquire the necessary skills and knowledge they may lack.
2. Feedback to Educational Institutions: By providing feedback to educational institutions about the skills and competencies they find lacking in new hires, employers can help shape more relevant educational programs.
3. Mentorship and Development Programs: Establishing mentorship programs where experienced employees guide new hires can facilitate knowledge transfer and skill development.
