The big companies are finally realising that there is such a lack of interested talent in the job market, that 'growing your own' is the way to solve their future talent management problems. McDonalds were one of the first, creating their own McDiploma's, and Tescos have gone one step further and have developed their own 'every little (graduate) helps' foundation degree.
I have to say that I think these are great initiatives going forward, but will it now become a pre-requisite for their competitors to match them and start their own qualifications? So what could be next around the corner?
A degree in Pocket Tapping (Asda if you are wondering)
Its not just any degree it is an M&S Degree
Try something new this September, try a Sainsburys degree
Or outside of retail, you could go for a BA with BA
I am sure you can be creative with some others!!
