Description
What matters more today—a degree, or the ability to actually do the job? For years, we’ve treated degrees as the ultimate signal of capability—the safer bet, the proven path. But Gen Z is stepping into a very different world of work. A world where skills evolve faster than syllabi, where portfolios sometimes speak louder than pedigrees, and where employers say they want “ready-to-perform,” not just “qualified-on-paper.” So is the value of a degree declining—or are we simply redefining what it represents?
In this episode, HR Leader and Entrepreneur Manisha Goel helps us to unpack the tension between degrees and skills, cut through the noise, and explore what truly drives employability for Gen Z—without dismissing either side.
