And mass initiatives (like university degrees) are created fastest for the strongest signals -- the loudest hype -- and thus tends to overproduce new people just as demand dies.

What are your thoughts on how we can help improve this alignment?

Hey pal, indeed, these anomalies occur mainly due to a lack of signals coming from the hiring market itself. Formation initiatives (and even people’s interests) always lag behind what the market is ready to absorb.

I've been talking to the entire market about skill management and I’ve noticed how flawed our methods for visualizing individual skillsets are. It’s impossible to consider upskilling and reskilling this way. When demand arises, the only possible solution is firing and hiring. This alignment will only occur when the demand provides a granular, specific, and clear indication of the skill gap.
