Re: School or Skills?

By my assumptions, there are strong indications already that we are moving past an era where employers put educational qualifications at the fore front of their requirement for employment into certain positions, some employers now hold personal qualities such as skills possessed by the individual ahead of the school they went to and the degree they graduated with. First, I would like to ask, could this be a reflection of a failing educational system? My second question is that if you happen to be the employer here, which will you consider more, school or skills?

Both of us need to have these two activities in ourselves. Because if you are applicable to the job field, then you need to have two things, degree and diploma. Your educational qualification will be considered for employment in a position. When you are accessed by looking at your documents, after that your qualities and skills will be considered. How far you are ahead in terms of skills is considered as a job by the employer. In other words, we need both school and skills.

You are right both of them are important, I think going to school in this generation is now like a back up plan, you do with the hopes that when something comes up you can have a degree to present..one thing that's inevitable is that no matter how skillful a person is without a certificate backing you up the man with low quality skills compared to yours might have the upper hand in terms of getting some jobs..this is why when most people get a job based on the skill they have they still need obtain a degree so that they can get higher position and offer.. education can facilitate the results of your skills.

In the country where I live there is a saying "without a certificate or a diploma you cannot be called a civilized person". I translated it only approximately, but I think you understood the essence of it. And I want to say that I agree with this statement, because a person without education is useless for the state in the mechanism of work relations. He will not be recognized at the interview, he will not be promoted even if he is an excellent specialist. Also, if at the official job where he somehow miraculously gets a job, he will be the first to be laid off. It is sad, but these are the facts.

I think it is better not to associate success with certificates or jobs, they may not complement each other. If a person earns a degree through education but knows very little about the work at hand and his skills are not that sharp, he will not be successful in the workplace. And if someone has good skills, he can earn a living through various types of work even beyond his academic qualifications.
Both school and skills are important, but if we do percentages, then skills are more important than school.

You cant be able to generalize. Why? Lets say that you have recently graduated and looking up for a job, of course its normal that you would be totally a noob or having no skills since you have just that graduated and lets say you do have zero skills, then how you would be able to learn up if you wont be finding yourself a job? There would be those companies that accepts fresh newbies graduates around on which they do understand that it do lack skills but on the moment that they've been taught then they do just normally adjust and made out those skills be enhanced overtime. When it comes or talks about employers that seeks out workers then it will be that depending into them on which one they would be that choosing on whether they would be focusing into those who do have educational attainment or they will be focusing out into skills. It will be that not common that both aspects are available on which they will be needing up to choose one. In speaking about personal approach then you do know on what you are lacking but since you are just that starting then you will be doing your best on seeking for a job that would be getting in line with your course then you do enhance it out but there are instances that there are situations that you dont have any choice but to deal up with works or jobs that it is outside of your knowledge. We do know that unemployment is a serious problem in each country on which even if you are graduated on a good course but if the jobs demand is low or not available or having that tons of competition, then you cant still that assure yourself that you will be landed out into a specific job and thats why this will be that situational.

Institutes should develop a person by providing technical education along with general education so that he does not have to face the questions you mentioned in the job field.
If for some reason he does not get a job, technical education will help him to be successful later.
If you look at a country like China, you can understand the importance of technical education.
