Many businesses struggle to hire recent graduates, citing their lack of readiness for
professional roles. This gap between education and workplace expectations
contributes to lower starting salaries and a perception that new hires require
significant training before they can add value.

founder of Agency PSI, about rethinking how architects—and professionals in
