Business Schools see Surge in Demand for Human Skills

Despite economic uncertainties, a new survey by GMAC reveals that employers anticipate effects from inflation and recession on hiring, yet maintain optimism regarding opportunities for business graduates

A recent survey by the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC) reveals a surge in employer confidence towards business schools (GMEs) and their ability to prepare graduates for success. This positive outlook spans consulting, finance, and technology sectors, translating to optimistic hiring projections for 2024.
