The study, involving 70,000 small businesses, revealed that 67% of employers believe higher education institutions are not graduating students with relevant skills needed in today’s business community.

This sentiment was echoed by some participants who expressed dissatisfaction with the talent produced by high schools and colleges.

Furthermore, the survey found that over 40% of employers are less likely to hire a job-seeker with a four-year degree.
