• 尽管人们对初级职位的残酷竞争感到担忧,但亿万富翁、摩根大通首席执行官杰米·戴蒙表示,企业仍在竞相招聘具备网络安全、编程和项目管理技能的年轻人才。
对于Z世代而言,就业市场充斥着矛盾信号。前一刻,他们听说入门级岗位正在逐渐消失;下一刻,首席执行官们又在抱怨人才短缺。不过,据摩根大通首席执行官杰米·戴蒙透露,获得工作保障的途径并非神秘莫测——只需掌握恰当技能即可。
上周在商业圆桌会议(Business Roundtable)的首席执行官劳动力论坛上,戴蒙透露,企业在特定领域正面临技能人才缺口,亟需年轻人补位。
这位69岁的亿万富翁表示,企业需要网络、编码、编程以及金融管理和项目管理等领域的人才。
“我们确实面临劳动力短缺,”他承认,但补充道:“我们都需要网络、编码、编程人才,还有金融管理和项目管理人才等。”
在亚马逊(Amazon)等公司承认不久将因人工智能裁减员工,以及Anthropic公司首席执行官达里奥·阿莫代伊(Dario Amodei)警告称该技术可能会使半数初级白领工作消失的背景下,学习相关科目可能会让下一代劳动者更具优势。
然而戴蒙指出,许多学校在提供此类专业培训方面存在不足,无法培养出下一代程序员或项目管理人员。
这就是为什么他此前曾强调,学校应以学生毕业后能否找到工作来衡量其教育成效。
戴蒙去年在接受印第安纳波利斯WISH-TV采访时表示:“审视孩子们的现状,他们唯有接受教育才能谋得工作。当下教育过度聚焦于大学毕业这一结果……实际理应聚焦就业。我认为学校应以学生毕业后能否找到好工作来衡量其教育成效。”
《财富》杂志已联系戴蒙置评。
填补技能缺口从课堂开始
令人惊讶的是,戴蒙仍看好学生学习编程的必要性。毕竟,ChatGPT等生成式人工智能技术已让仅凭“灵感”搭建网站或开发软件变得前所未有的轻松。
不过,戴蒙并非孤例,诸多人士都认为掌握基础科技知识仍是通往高薪职业的路径。事实上,今年年初,包括微软(Microsoft)的萨蒂亚·纳德拉(Satya Nadella)、爱彼迎(Airbnb)的布莱恩·切斯基(Brian Chesky)和赛富时(Salesforce)的马克·贝尼奥夫(Marc Benioff)在内的超250位首席执行官共同签署了一封信,要求所有学生都能接受计算机科学和人工智能教育。
“计算机科学和人工智能基础知识对助力每位学生在技术驱动的世界中飞黄腾达至关重要。如果缺乏这些知识,他们便有掉队的风险。”这封致立法者的信中如此写道。
这一呼吁紧随马里兰大学发表一项研究之后。该研究发现,高中阶段选修计算机科学课程的学生,首份工作平均薪资将高出8%。
Z世代要脱颖而出,靠的不止是硬技能
Z世代初入职场时往往不顺——部分新人在职业素养、组织协调以及沟通能力方面存在不足。
这或许解释了为何戴蒙强调,若想在当今市场谋得并保住工作,新员工需要具备的远不止金融或编程等领域的技术专长。
事实上,在其市值超7500亿美元的公司招聘时,戴蒙坚持认为:相较于专业背景,求职者的品格更为重要。
“坦率讲,专业几乎无关紧要,因为我们要找的是聪慧、有道德且品行端正之人。”戴蒙对《华尔街日报》表示。(*)

• Despite worries about an entry-level-job bloodbath, billionaire JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon says businesses are still clamoring for young talent with skills in cybersecurity, coding, and project management.
For Gen Z, the job market is full of mixed signals. One moment, they’re hearing entry-level jobs are a dying breed. The next, CEOs are complaining about a talent shortage. But according to JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, the path to job security isn’t a mystery—it just requires studying the right things.
That’s because there are some areas where businesses are short on skills and desperately need young people to plug that gap, Dimon revealed at Business Roundtable’s CEO Workforce Forum last week.
Businesses have a need for experts in areas like cyber, coding, and programming along with financial and project management, the 69-year-old billionaire said.
“We are short on labor,” he agreed, but, he added: “We all have needs for cyber, we all have needs for coding, we all have needs for programming, we have needs for financial management and program management, things like that.”
Studying those subjects could give the next generation of workers an edge, amid companies like Amazon admitting they will soon cut their corporate ranks thanks to AI and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei warning that the technology could wipe out half of all entry-level, white collar jobs
But Dimon said that many schools are falling short in providing this specialized training to become the next generation of coders or program managers.
It’s why he has previously stressed that schools should be measured on whether their pupils actually land work after leaving.
“If you look at kids they gotta be educated to get jobs,” Dimon told Indianapolis-based WISH-TV last year. “Too much focus in education has been on graduating college… It should be on jobs. I think the schools should be measured on, did the kids get out and get a good job?”
Fortune reached out to Dimon for comment.
Fixing the skills gap starts in the classroom
It may come as a surprise that Dimon is still bullish on the need for students to learn how to code. After all, ChatGPT and other generative AI technologies have made it easier than ever to build a website or develop new software with just “vibes.”
However, Dimon is not alone in his belief that having foundational tech knowledge is still a lucrative career path. In fact, over 250 chief executives—the likes of Microsoft’s Satya Nadella, Airbnb’s Brian Chesky, and Salesforce’s Marc Benioff—came together early this year to sign a letter demanding all students have access to computer science and AI education.
“A basic foundation in computer science and AI is crucial for helping every student thrive in a technology-driven world. Without it, they risk falling behind,” wrote the letter sent to lawmakers.
The push came on the heels of research from the University of Maryland that found that high school students who take a computer science class will have 8% greater earnings on average by the time they’ve secured their first job.
Gen Z can get ahead with more than just hard skills
Gen Z hasn’t always entered the workforce on the best of terms—with some new-to-the-workforce struggling with professionalism, organization, and communication.
It perhaps explains why Dimon has emphasized that new hires need more than just technical expertise in finance or coding if they want to land a job in today’s market (and keep it).
In fact, when hiring at his $750 billion-plus firm, Dimon insists that a college major doesn’t matter as much as a job candidate’s character.
“It almost doesn’t matter to tell you the truth because you’re looking for smart, ethical, decent people,” Dimon told the Wall Street Journal.
