| Workforce development and skills expert Nicholas Wyman tells TODAY EXTRA hosts, Sonia Kruger and David Campbell, that you don’t need a university degree to be successful. Big employers are moving further away from hiring university graduates, believing they don’t have the real world skills to do the job. Mr Wyman said the focus needs to shift away from the mantra of ‘university for all’. Teens and young people, he said, need to investigate all their options when it comes to further study.
