Download Why Good People Can't Get Jobs: The Skills Gap and What Companies Can Do About It AudioBook Free
Peter Cappelli confronts the misconception of the skills gap and provides an actionable journey forward to place people back again to work. Even in a period of perilously high unemployment, companies contend that they can not find the employees they need. Pointing to a skills distance, employers argue candidates are simply not qualified; academic institutions aren't organizing students for jobs; the government isn't enabling in enough high-skill immigrants; and even though the match is right, potential employees won't accept jobs at the pay offered. In this particular powerful audiobook, Peter Cappelli, Wharton management teacher and director of Wharton's Center for Human Resources, debunks the quarrels and exposes the true reasons good people can't get appointed. Drawing on jobs data, anecdotes from all attributes of the employer-employee split, and interviews with jobs experts, he explores the paradoxical makes bearing down on the American workplace and lays out solutions that can help us break through what has turned into a crippling employer-employee stand-off. Among the questions he confronts: Is there really a skills gap? To what magnitude is the hiring process being performed hostage by robotic software that can crunch thousands of applications an hour? What kind of training could best bridge the distance between employer targets and applicant realities, and who should base the bill for this? Are academic institutions really at fault? Known as one of HR Magazine's Top 20 Most Important Thinkers of 2011, Cappelli not only changes just how we think about employing but points just how frontward to rev America's job engine motor again.
