Welcome to Bizenko. We believe that the system for moving from education into employment is not working.
This is true at “first-job” / entry level, but also beyond. Having spent nearly 30 years observing the mess, we are determined to offer an improved alternative.
What is so broken that it needs to be improved?
Our system for allocating employment is stuck in the past. Through habit and shortness of time, we use “proxy” measures to determine who gets employed. In other words, we rely on exam grades, or personal contacts to decide if an individual gets hired.
As you can probably guess, that’s not necessarily accurate, and it’s neither fair or efficient. Some get lucky, many get stuck in jobs they don’t like!
Employers know this isn’t a good system, but decades of tradition, and the lack of alternatives keep the bad system in place.
There are “catch-22” situations on both sides. Students often can’t get their dream jobs for lack of commercial awareness, yet they can’t get the commercial awareness without a good job and training. Employers can’t get their desired skillset, yet don’t have the time, budget or incentive to train the whole population.
We believe this mess needs to be resolved for the mental and economic well-being of us all. If you’d like to know more, read on, or make contact: nick@bizenko.co.uk
