DESPITE concerns about inflation and recession risk, employer confidence in graduate-management education and its ability to prepare business-school graduates to be successful in their organizations has reached new heights since the pandemic, according to an annual survey of global corporate recruiters of business graduates released by the Graduate Management Admission Council .

Notably, employers’ renewed confidence in GME is reflected in the growing number of them who say business-school graduates tend to outperform their other employees, fast-track to upper-level positions, and earn more than other employees. The share has grown in recent years despite, or perhaps due to, the rapid rise of technologies like generative artificial intelligence .

However, when asked which skills will be most important in five years, AI ranked high across regions and industries. More important, employers consistently value problem-solving and strategic thinking as top skills for GME graduates of both today and tomorrow. These core competencies are seen as essential globally.
