The business world has been talking for a long time about what needs to be done to reach the right talents, to bring qualified workforce to the sector and to find solutions to the lack of workforce. While companies spend a great deal of effort, time and money in the recruitment process, recruitment processes focused on resumes and interviews cause the concept of productivity to be questioned.
According to the 2022 Talent Crisis Survey of the human resources company Manpower, three out of every 7 companies globally report that they have difficulty finding talented employees to fill the employment gap, research findings show that the talent crisis is the biggest problem in the business world in the last 16 years. According to the survey, employers look for qualities in employees such as self-confidence, reliability, flexibility, adaptability and problem-solving ability, while 81% of employees expect their companies to provide training to improve their skills and promote employability. The Young Executive Academy (YEA), which aims to develop the strategic perspectives and leadership skills of talented young executive candidates, and to bring individuals who are not keeping pace with change, but taking the lead in the business world, combine the theoretical education of the students at universities with the practical trainings they receive from company managers and contribute to their career journeys. It gets you a step ahead.

Recruitment processes based on a standard CV and subsequent interviews are no longer valid, and this situation causes the concept of 'productivity' to be questioned. At this point, combining the theoretical education that students receive throughout their school life with practical and application-oriented training from company managers both opens the career path of young people and gives company managers the opportunity to discover new talents. In this way, new graduates have equal opportunity in accessing job opportunities.” said.
