Employers should give more importance to academic qualifications. Do you agree or disagree?

Nobody would dispute the fact that education plays a vital role in teaching

skills

and sharing knowledge.

Although

employees

' educational backgrounds can be important, I believe that organisations should pay more attention to

employees

' social

skills

and technical qualifications. The reasons why workers' social

skills

are essential at professional workplaces are manifold.

Firstly

, it is true that

people

who have poor

people

skills

are more likely to have conflicts with colleagues and managers

such

as new graduates.

For example

,

employees

who have great soft

skills

are able to handle worrisome situations and different challenges because they know how to work with others.

Furthermore

, it is obvious that communication is the key to allow management and the team to understand their work,

hence

technical workers should enhance their communication

skills

. Companies should

also

value

employees

' technical qualifications

such

as practical

skills

and years of working experience. If

employees

have a wide range of practical

skills

and worked for many years, they will be more likely to understand the expectations and achieve the tasks on their own. Technical workers can resolve many challenging technical problems so it is tremendously vital to have them in the company.

For instance

, the information technology group is composed of technical

people

. In conclusion, some

people

would argue that education should be paid more attention to by employers, but I hold the view that companies should hire more

people

who have a wider range of

skills

such

as

people

skills

, technical

skills

and years of working experience.
