When narrowing down the number to only include that of professionals with limited to <a href=\"\/blog\/hiring-for-potential-gauging-applicants-with-no-work-experience\">no experience<\/a>, and the average tenure was even smaller at just over 13 months.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15794\" src=\"https:\/\/neo-blog.kalibrr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/get-used-to-new-how-long-before-todays-entry-level-employees-move-jobs-.jpg\" alt=\"get-used-to-new-how-long-before-todays-entry-level-employees-move-jobs\" width=\"1002\" height=\"669\" srcset=\"https:\/\/neo-blog.kalibrr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/get-used-to-new-how-long-before-todays-entry-level-employees-move-jobs-.jpg 1002w, https:\/\/neo-blog.kalibrr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/get-used-to-new-how-long-before-todays-entry-level-employees-move-jobs--300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/neo-blog.kalibrr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/get-used-to-new-how-long-before-todays-entry-level-employees-move-jobs--768x513.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1002px) 100vw, 1002px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"text-align-justify\" dir=\"ltr\">Broken down by level, it is evident that \u201cnewbie\u201d professionals come in to explore their career options or gain experience, and that their first few jobs are just a way to get their feet wet, but are hardly what they consider their dream jobs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-align-justify\" dir=\"ltr\">Those who took on internship roles only averaged just over four months at the job, understandable given internships roles usually only last one academic semester. However, even fresh graduates who entered their jobs with no experience or those who had a relative amount but not quite enough for non-entry level roles had notably short stints at their jobs, averaging 18 and a little under 15 months respectively.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"text-align-justify\" dir=\"ltr\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"They_stay_for_a_bit_longer_when_the_roles_are_in_Skilled_Trade_or_Safety_and_Security\"><\/span>They stay for a bit longer when the roles are in Skilled Trade or Safety and Security<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"text-align-justify\" dir=\"ltr\">Taking into consideration specific jobs or industries, some see longer tenures than others, albeit not by a significant margin. Two of these that see somewhat extended stays from employees who are at the early stages in their careers are Skilled Trade and Safety and Security, where some young professionals average tenures that are a little over two years.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15796\" src=\"https:\/\/neo-blog.kalibrr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/get-used-to-new-how-long-before-todays-entry-level-employees-move-jobs.jpg\" alt=\"get-used-to-new-how-long-before-todays-entry-level-employees-move-jobs\" width=\"1002\" height=\"215\" srcset=\"https:\/\/neo-blog.kalibrr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/get-used-to-new-how-long-before-todays-entry-level-employees-move-jobs.jpg 1002w, https:\/\/neo-blog.kalibrr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/get-used-to-new-how-long-before-todays-entry-level-employees-move-jobs-300x64.jpg 300w, https:\/\/neo-blog.kalibrr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/get-used-to-new-how-long-before-todays-entry-level-employees-move-jobs-768x165.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1002px) 100vw, 1002px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"text-align-justify\" dir=\"ltr\">Defined as \u201coccupations that require a special skill, knowledge or ability which can be obtained at a college, technical school or through specialized training\u201d, Skilled Trade jobs such as a physical therapist, site engineer, or programmer are understandably roles which young employees stay in longer. This is often due to some time spent training or being onboarded bt employers, as well as the time needed to transition from practicing their skills within a learning environment to using it in the real world.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-align-justify\" dir=\"ltr\">On the other hand, Safety and Security is seeing professionals stay due to a similar learning curve needed in the industry. While many initially think of it involving only physical safety and security, the industry is also essential in others such as health, finance, and digital\u2013 resulting in young safety and security professionals staying longer to get their feet wet not only in their profession but also the overall industry which their employers are in.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"text-align-justify\" dir=\"ltr\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adjusting_to_the_new_workforce\"><\/span>Adjusting to the new workforce<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"text-align-justify\">While some older employers\u2013 and professionals in general\u2013 still turn their nose on the idea of short job tenures, this is one of the realities of having a predominantly young workforce who have an increasingly diverse amount of career and training options. With that said, it is inevitable that employees leave, and the challenge lies in many of them now doing so sooner than later.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-align-justify\">Being a step ahead, some companies have leaned on employer branding to make sure that the workforce, in general, has a favorable impression of them as an employer. By doing this, they are able to maintain interest in their company as a place to work, which is helpful when needing to hire top talent (or in this case, replacing them with similarly qualified candidates).<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-align-justify\">Others have embraced the cycle by acknowledging their employees\u2019 preference for taking on new challenges and gaining as much experience as possible and had evolved their company culture to be supportive of these changes, in the hope retaining good relationships with those who become past employees and eventually have them return to their team down the line.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-align-justify\" dir=\"ltr\">Of course, making an effort to retain employees who perform well shouldn\u2019t be disregarded, and understanding the motivations of today\u2019s young workforce is one way to keep doing that. It is well documented how both Generation Z and Millenial employees hold professional development in high regard, and making sure they are continuously provided the opportunity to learn and train new things, as well as take on new and varying responsibilities, is one way to keep them engaged.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-align-justify\">Ultimately, understanding the current and upcoming workforce\u2013 be it what skills they have, what aspects of work they consider most important, and what industries they most like to work in, among others\u2013 will play a significant role in being able to hire and retain the best of them and ensure their successful contribution to your organization\u2019s overall goals.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-align-justify\"><em>For more of Kalibrr\u2019s job tenure data or help with recruitment and employer branding, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kalibrr.com\/contactus\/demo?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=in-text&amp;utm_campaign=blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sign up for Kalibrr<\/a> and start hiring better today!<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p class=\"text-align-justify\" dir=\"ltr\"><em>Kalibrr is a technology company that aims to transform how candidates find jobs and how companies hire talent.
