The UK’s professional body for human resources has warned that too many university graduates are over-qualified for their current jobs.
Whilst the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) previously voiced this issue in 2015, it has now identified that the proportion of graduations in low-skilled industries is growing.
In light of the findings, in its report What is the scale and impact of graduate overqualification in the UK, the CIPD is calling for skills policy to be rethought.
It wants urgent improvement to how young people access careers advice and apprenticeships – the latter also long championed by newly-appointed education minister Robert Halfon.
