TutorABC Survey Reveals Top 3 “Work-Ready” Skills Graduates Need to Land a Job

Global EdTech leader, TutorABC, launches new “Workplace Ready English” program and a Career Kickstarter Grant to bridge the critical skills gap for new graduates.

TAIPEI, Taiwan – July 18, 2025 – As graduation season unfolds, a wave of anxiety is sweeping through the new generation of job seekers as resumes disappear into black holes and promising interviews end in silence. In response, global online education leader TutorABC today announced key findings from a survey of its 3,000 corporate clients, identifying the core competencies that hiring managers value most.

To address this skills gap, TutorABC is launching its new “Workplace Ready English” curriculum, developed with resources from Oxford University Press and Cambridge University Press. The company has also introduced a limited-time “Career Kickstarter Grant,” a subsidy valued at over $300 USD, to help new graduates gain a competitive edge.

“A degree is no longer a golden ticket,” said Samuel Yang, Co-Chairman of TutorABC. “Our partners are looking for candidates who can demonstrate practical, real-world skills from day one. This program is our direct answer to that market need.”

The 3 “Work-Ready” Skills Hiring Managers Are Looking For:

The survey pinpointed three critical competencies often overlooked in traditional education:

• Articulating Value: Moving beyond simply listing experiences to crafting a compelling narrative of one’s potential and past contributions, often using frameworks like the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result).
• Collaborative Communication: Demonstrating reliability in a hybrid workplace through precise, professional communication, such as well-structured emails and the ability to accurately confirm instructions to build team trust.
• Proactive Problem-Solving: Shifting from a passive, instruction-waiting mindset to a proactive “growth mindset” by researching issues, proposing solutions, and asking for guidance after an initial effort.
