Employers still unsure on hiring K-12 graduates

Implementation of the K-12 program has not significantly raised the hiring chances of fresh graduates, a jobs portal reported on Wednesday.

Jobstreet’s 2018 Fresh Graduate Report, which tracked job postings and results of a survey of employers, found 35 percent of the respondents saying they were not ready to employ graduates of the extended basic education program, which was implemented in stages beginning 2011.
