2. Overall Objectives
To strengthen Kelly Services foot hold in international markets, Kelly is seeking to increase its business presence in Germany.
3. Target Audience - Germany
Germany’s workforce is gearing up for a massive shift towards highly skilled technological industries, and Kelly Service aims to staff these industries with the highest tier of the German workforce. In order to meet these national and economic demands, Kelly Service plans to target a wide-range, but very specific demographic audience. According to Eduniversal’s college ranking list, “nearly one third of [German graduates] choose to follow a vocational training program within the binary system rather than go on to graduate school; professional training is highly valued and graduate school is largely comprised of students focused on research.” Following suit, Kelly Service’s target audience will consist of college graduates who have recently obtained degrees in such areas as automotive manufacturing, and electrical, automotive, and chemical engineering. Also, Kelly Services will actively target senior students at colleges with the best engineering and manufacturing programs such as Technische Universität Berlin, Freie Universität Berlin, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Universität München, and Universität Freiburg. The highly environmentally conscience German workforce will also be included in the target audience. Kelly Services will work to recruit individuals fro...

If more people went to college, and less went the vocational route, jobs will take a momentous hit. Today, companies will not even touch an application that does not include a Bachelor’s Degree; even if the Bachelor’s Degree has nothing to do with the job being applied for. Attention is not given to whether the hopeful applicant qualifies for the job; all that matters is that the applicant has a Bachelor’s degree. Murray best sums up the American job market when he says, “Employers do not value what the student learned, just that the student has a degree” (Murray). However, if less people obtain a Bachelor’s Degree, employers will be forced to base applicants on their skills, and abilities. Furthermore, important vocational jobs that lie vacant will be filled. Good electricians, carpenters, and construction workers will always be in

The Hart Report, on the other hand, also states the same problem of unemployment and the global recession which has left employers focusing on employees not only with specialists’ skills but also a “broader range of skills and knowledge” (page 6-7). The Hart Report clearly reflects what the needs of contemporary employers are, but the question is whether it is the universities or the students themselves who fail to cope with the requirements of the contemporary world which is filled with technological advancement and critical thinking. The Texas Work Source has also played an important role in examining what is actually missing in today’s generation and the reasons behind such a great decline in employment. The central Shafiq 2 problem discussed by all the three reports is the employment crisis which the millennials will be facing due to the educational problems, either in the schools or in the students, and at the same time the increasing demand of symbol analysts.
