Ftse 100 boss calls for jobless graduates to be pushed into teaching and nursing
CEO urges jobless grads into teaching, nursing to curb public‑sector staffing gaps.
On 30 January 2026, GB News quoted Rod Flavell, chief executive of a FTSE 250 technology company, urging UK ministers to actively steer unemployed graduates into public‑sector roles. Flavell said job centres should target degree holders for teaching and nursing posts, citing severe staffing shortages in both sectors that threaten service delivery. He argued that the large pool of jobless graduates, many of whom have spent the pandemic‑era years without work, could fill vacancies quickly if redirected. The call comes amid reports that the NHS and schools are facing critical workforce gaps. Flavell’s remarks follow a broader debate on how to use the skills of recent graduates to meet urgent national needs.
