As we emerge from a tumultuous two years for employers, Scotland’s stubborn skills challenges appear more pressing than ever.
Like many other sectors in the economy, we are wrestling with unmet demand for future talent. Indeed, our jobs board ACCA Careers, regularly sees 20,000 or so job adverts a month.
That’s why, as a professional body for accountants we embrace all routes into employment, whether it’s straight from school, as a graduate or post graduate or as an apprentice. None are necessarily better, they’re just different.
