If foundational skills are so important, why is there a skills gap? Shouldn't employers be looking for these skills right off the bat? And why are recruiters and HR departments noticing that prospective hires lack the skills that are so important in their jobs. Dr. Corey Olsen, President of Signum University, discusses why employers tend to look for "hard" skills first, instead of the "soft" foundational skills needed in every job, and how so many collegiate programs are failing graduates by not training them in the career skills that are crucial for every job position in every industry.
