But what happens when companies stop hiring beginners?

In this episode of Monterra Originals, we examine why entry-level jobs are becoming harder to find, why employers increasingly demand experience from people who have never been given the chance to gain it, and how artificial intelligence could accelerate a shift that was already underway.
