Many young people aspire to get a university degree, a step they consider necessary to help them get a job somewhere, but it seems that this step, although important, but it is not necessary for many large companies such as "Apple" and "Google" and "Netflix" As a condition for hiring employees, according to Business Insider.
Apple and Siemens chief executives, Tim Cook and Barbara Hampton, recently took part in a meeting of the US Advisory Council on Manpower Policy and played down the importance of a university degree to compete in the labor market.
About half of the people who joined Apple in the United States last year did not have a bachelor's degree, Cook said, explaining that many universities and colleges do not know what skills companies are looking for in their potential employees. Like programming.
Hampton, who doubted that a university degree would be a guaranteed way to get a job, agreed. "Often, job advertisements require at least a first degree in applicants, but in fact this requirement means nothing to companies," he said.
The magazine quoted an analytical study conducted by the social network of the most widespread professional network "LinkIn," and said that prominent companies such as "Apple" and "Google" employ people with the necessary skills to get the job done, without the requirement to have university degrees.
In the analysis, LinkedIn identified specific jobs that could be filled by non-university graduates, such as electronic technicians, designers and marketers.
