Les employeurs se tournent vers les diplômés d’écoles de commerce pour ce qui est des compétences d’aujourd’hui et de demain

Une enquête du GMAC identifie les talents convoités et les projections d’embauche des recruteurs d’entreprise

RESTON, Virginie, 20 juill. 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Malgré des conditions macroéconomiques défavorables et des incertitudes émergentes, les employeurs demeurent confiants en ce qui concerne l’embauche de diplômés d’écoles de commerce, selon une enquête auprès de recruteurs d’entreprise publiée aujourd’hui par le Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC). Le GMAC, une association mondiale représentant les meilleures écoles de commerce, a publié les conclusions de l’enquête de 2023 qui étudie quelles compétences caractériseront le lieu de travail du futur selon les employeurs – et dans quelle mesure ceux-ci estiment que les candidats de MBA et de masters en affaires sont préparés.

Les employeurs affirment que la communication, l’analyse des données et la stratégie font actuellement partie des compétences les plus importantes pour les diplômés d’écoles de commerce, et la plupart disent que leur importance continuera de s’intensifier. Notamment, les employeurs américains qui s’intéressent aux compétences technologiques ont une haute estime de leur importance future mais pensent que les diplômés d’écoles de commerce pourraient être mieux préparés pour des capacités technologiques spécifiques. Les recruteurs américains, ainsi que leurs collègues dans les secteurs de la finance et de la comptabilité, sont également plus critiques concernant le degré de préparation des candidats pour tirer parti de certaines compétences de communication importantes par rapport à d’autres régions et estiment que les écoles de commerce pourraient mieux développer les compétences interculturelles de leurs diplômés.

« Selon la plupart des employeurs, les écoles de commerce sont sur la bonne voie en dotant leurs diplômés des compétences actuellement importantes et d’autres de plus en plus cruciales pour évoluer dans un monde chargé en informations et affecté par l’IA », a déclaré Joy Jones, PDG du GMAC. « Nous sommes persuadés que les écoles de commerce et leurs diplômés relèveront le défi de la mise à niveau des compétences cruciales de l’avenir, qu’il s’agisse d’aptitude interculturelle, de Web3 et de Blockchain, ou de communication numérique – afin de leur permettre de prospérer dans des organisations hybrides mondiales et d’avoir un impact significatif dans un environnement en constante évolution. »

Autres principales conclusions :

Globalement, les employeurs ont tendance à croire que les écoles de commerce peuvent apporter un avantage par rapport aux talents sans formation supérieure en management. Les employeurs d’Asie et figurant au palmarès Fortune 500 ont une vision plus optimiste des capacités et du potentiel d’avancement des diplômés d’écoles de commerce, mais sont aussi plus susceptibles de recruter plus fortement auprès d’écoles de commerce « de premier plan ». Et comme au cours des dernières années, les employeurs continuent d’accorder plus de valeur aux talents ayant suivi des programmes en personne qu’à ceux ayant obtenu leurs diplômes ou micro-qualifications uniquement en ligne.

« Les titulaires de diplômes d’affaires en ligne devraient parler de leurs qualifications différemment selon l’employeur—les employeurs d’Asie sont plus susceptibles d’accorder de la valeur au diplôme lui-même, tandis que les employeurs basés aux États-Unis et spécialisés dans la consultation préfèreraient en savoir davantage sur les compétences spécifiques acquises par les candidats », a suggéré Andrew Walker, directeur de l’analyse des recherches et des communications au GMAC, et auteur du rapport. « Les micro-qualifications sont en soi moins susceptibles d’impressionner les employeurs par rapport aux diplômes supérieurs en affaires bien que les compétences apportées soient appréciées par certains employeurs. »

L’enquête examine aussi de quelle manière les conditions macroéconomiques influencent les décisions d’embauche et de salaire à travers les secteurs et autour du monde. Ce qui est encourageant, c’est que même en considérant l’inflation, les salaires de MBA en 2023 aux États-Unis devraient être plus élevés que les projections de 2022, tandis que les salaires des masters en affaires et sectoriels pourraient baisser. Malgré les préoccupations signalées par rapport à la récession, les plans d’embauche 2023 restent optimistes, une certaine croissance étant attendue en ce qui concerne l’embauche parmi les masters en affaires par rapport aux résultats réels de l’année 2022.

À propos de l’enquête

Depuis plus de deux décennies, l’Enquête sur les recruteurs d’entreprise du GMAC fournit aux écoles supérieures de commerce et aux employeurs du monde entier des données et perspectives permettant de comprendre les tendances actuelles de l’embauche, de la rémunération, de la demande en compétences et des perceptions des titulaires de MBA et masters en affaires. Le GMAC, associé aux partenaires de l’enquête que sont l’European Foundation for Management Development (EFMD) et la MBA Career Services and Employer Alliance (MBA CSEA), a rassemblé les réponses de 1 028 personnes interrogées dans 34 pays représentant 55 % des entreprises figurant au palmarès Global Fortune 500 entre janvier et mars 2023, en collaboration avec les bureaux de services de carrières d’écoles supérieures de commerce participantes dans le monde entier. GMAC Research a aussi travaillé avec un cabinet d’études de marché pour recruter d’autres participants afin de rendre l’échantillon global plus représentatif à l’échelle mondiale.

Watch Sulley Muntari train children on how to shoot and score incredible goals

Former Black Stars and UEFA Champions League winner, Sulley Ali Muntari has taken it upon himself to nurture and train the next generation of players on how to shot and score incredible goals.

Muntari who is known for scoring stupendous goals during his active days as a player was spotted training young players on how to improve on goal-scoring abilities.

The children who were about ten in number were seen going through various drills and training under the guidance of the former Inter player.

Muntari from a closer perspective looked passionate about coaching the young players. The ex-player offered invaluable assistance and encouragement to the budding footballers.

Whenever their shots veer off course, he provides constructive feedback and patiently guides them to improve their technique.

The former Hearts of Oak celebrates and applauds the players each time they manage to find the back of the net.

A notable piece of advice Muntari offered to the upcoming players is to always keep their eyes on the ball and aim at their target.

As part of improving their goal-scoring technique, the former AC Milan will often throw the ball in the air with the aim of getting the players to hit a stunning strike at goal.

This happens to be a niche that Muntari has couched for himself by scoring goals from long-range and volleys.

We had a lot of expectations for Chris Hughton – Randy Abbey

The Executive Council member of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Randy Abbey has said the association is unhappy with the performance of Black Stars coach Chris Hughton.

According to him, the FA had high expectations for the former Brighton and Hove Albion manager before his appointment but so far things are not looking good.

Randy Abbey believes with the qualifiers for the 2026 FIFA World Cup not far away, coach Chris Hughton and his deputy coaches must improve things as soon as possible.

“We are not too happy, we think there has to be a lot of improvement which needs to be made. We also don’t have all the time in the world, so we need to be fast about it.

“We think there’s a lot of work to be done, because we had a lot of expectation for Hughton and his team of Dramani and Boateng. Based on the fact they’ve been around the team for a long while, they could hit the ground running,” Randy Abbey said as quoted by Joy Sports.

Since taking over as Black Stars coach, Chris Hughton has won one game and drawn the other two.

He must prepare for the key clash against Central African Republic later this year in September.

Ghana must avoid a defeat in the game to secure qualification to the 2023 AFCON.

Former Minister of Energy Boakye Kyerematen Agyarko has revealed that some presidential candidate aspirants of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) ganged up against Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen in the 2008 presidential primaries.

According to him, the decision to go against Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen was arrived at after meeting some elders of the party who Agyarko failed to name.

Speaking on Kumasi-based Hello FM Boakye Agyarko who is now vying to lead the party in the 2024 general elections, revealed that though their decision was not public, they threw their support for Akufo-Addo a night to the election.

“A night before the 2008 primaries at Legon, we were called to an elderly person in the NPP’s house and asked us to step down at that very night to throw our support behind Akufo-Addo, but we declined. We told them it was rather late, we can’t take such a decision without consulting our followers” Mr. Boakye Agyarko revealed.

According to him, though they declined the decision to withdraw from the race, yet they were asked to convince their followers to vote for Akufo-Addo.

In the 2008 Presidential Primaries of the New Patriotic Party, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo now president secured 47.9% of the total votes emerging as the winner while Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen the second runner had 32.5%.
