We are pleased to once again partner with GMAC on this research, which contains compelling findings about employer preferences around artificial intelligence; which skills employers value now and in the future; how perceptions about the value of Graduate Management Education (GME) have evolved in an increasingly hybrid/remote workplace; and how hiring and compensation packages have remained steady despite continued influences of less favorable macroeconomic trends. Through the efforts our members and other business schools and recruiters, GMAC was able to connect with nearly 1,000 corporate recruiters and staffing firms across 38 countries. The findings show:
- What's new in 2024: Most employers are not too concerned about AI for today's GME grads, but its importance is expected to grow—and soon.
- Future-ready skills: Employers say the top three most important skills for current GME graduates are problem-solving, communication, and strategic thinking—with general consensus across regions.
- Employer confidence in GME: Employer confidence in GME is growing on measures of graduate success, promotion, and earnings—especially in the age of remote and hybrid work.
- Hiring & compensation: Despite nearly three-quarters of employers reporting major or moderate influence of inflation and recession fears on their hiring decisions, more than a quarter of employers plan to expand their hiring of GME graduates in 2024, with a plurality planning steady hiring across degree types.
