Why do businesses say there are no qualified employees? - Muça: They require specific technical skills, while not investing in their training
Businesses often seek employees with specific technical skills for their specific needs, while not investing at all in the training and development of those employees, to grow them professionally and equip them with precisely these skills that are usually acquired through experience.
This is stated by Employment Expert, Erion Muça, who adds that investing in human resources is not seen as a priority investment by businesses, but as an added cost.
"Business companies are increasingly receiving orders, offers or investing in very specific infrastructures and job profiles that require equally specific training, equally concrete technical knowledge and skills, which in one way or another are learned only on the job or through training and manuals that come from companies that have brought equipment for a certain business and are accompanied by learning through experience, until an employee manages to gain the qualification that today requires to have a business ," the expert says.
For this, closer cooperation is needed between universities and businesses, so that the latter can address their needs and academic institutions can prepare young people for the labor market.
"The achievement of this phase of training professionals or qualified individuals will come at the moment when private businesses will convey to universities and vocational high schools all the concrete needs they have for knowledge, specific technical skills for employees. Schools and universities will integrate them into programs and will require their academic staff or vocational school teachers to be trained and specialized to focus on these curricula to help the industry with suitable professionals and businesses and companies will have to invest in employees, in order for them to be trained and qualified ," said Muça.
According to the American Chamber of Commerce's 2024-2025 Business Index, the main problem businesses face is finding qualified staff.
