""AI fluency is no longer a "nice-to-have," I was told in an email from GMAC (Graduate Management Admission Council), the leading body globally that determines whether you can enter a top business school and study master's degrees like the MBA. Within just one year, the share of employers valuing AI skills in graduate hires jumped from 26% to 31%, one of the biggest year-over-year shifts witnessed to date, according to GMAC's Corporate Recruiters Survey."
"He explained, "Now with AI, it's shifting from not just knowledge but to skills and applied skills that you can demonstrate you have. And so I think that, you know, in 10 years time, if you're not somebody who is continuously learning all the time, you really face a real risk of being left behind in the job market because of the pace of Gen AI and the changes that it is creating across every aspect of work in every domain.""
The share of employers valuing AI skills in graduate hires increased from 26% to 31% in one year, marking a major year-over-year shift. Generative AI is reshaping the workplace and driving demand for AI-fluent graduates. Degrees alone are becoming insufficient as employers seek demonstrable applied skills. Adaptability and eagerness to continue learning are identified as critical long-term workforce skills. Job postings requiring AI skills offer roughly 28% higher pay than those without. Free AI certification options are presented as practical steps for graduates to boost employability beyond formal degrees. Rapid Gen AI advancement creates a risk that workers who do not continuously learn will be left behind in the job market.
