Job seekers increasingly expect skills-building opportunities from employers, impacting job choices, as per a report from Aerotek.
Nearly three-quarters of job seekers surveyed desire new skills development, while over a quarter have left jobs due to lack of skill growth.
Employers investing in training and development are better positioned to attract and retain talent, says Bill Ruff of Aerotek.
The survey reveals longer job searches and decreased optimism in finding quality jobs, emphasizing the importance of skill development for both job seekers and industries facing labor shortages.
