SERVERS NEEDED - HOTEL STAFF WANTED. We've seen these signs go up more and more in the last few months, and in our new report, The Rising Storm, we're projecting this to only get worse. https://lnkd.in/ezHphCYW While most food and hospitality jobs have relatively low barriers to entry, the bad news is that compensation is generally too low to support a consistent workforce. Read our full synopsis of the situation, and our ideas for how to combat this continued and worsening shortage of workers in these fields.

Nearly 1 in 4 job postings now requests some kind of non-degree credential, and industry-recognized credentials have become a crucial tool for students and workers to prove they have the skills to succeed in the workforce. That's why Lightcast worked with ExcelinEd to create 'Credentials Matter'—the first large-scale analysis to examine how the industry credentials earned by students align with good jobs and real-world employer demand. Learn how Lightcast and ExcelinEd are putting credentials to work. https://lnkd.in/eZDuQ5bT #credentials #jobtraining #workforcedevelopment #careerpathways

When talking about career changes, the last thing anyone wants is recommendations made up in some ivory tower, far away from conditions workers actually deal with. So when Lightcast joined the World Economic Forum to study changing jobs, we made sure to focus on real transitions that real workers have made. Freedom of movement is key. If workers can’t easily shift from a disappearing job to a stable one, or from an existing job to a new, high-growth one, then they’re missing out on the benefits—and so is the entire global economy. Employers also stand to gain from an efficient, free-moving talent marketplace, because a future-ready workforce depends on a reliable supply of workers and skills.
