Breaking the Paper Ceiling: Why Skills-Based Hiring Wins Over Degree Requirements

Ask any two people what their career path was, and you’ll likely get very different answers.

Prioritizing skills can unlock a new pool of talented individuals for employers to hire, and can help break the stigma that a bachelor’s degree is the essential starting point for a career. An expert on workforce strategies explores why skills-based hiring is the new future at this AGILE Global Innovation Series event.
