Mainecat Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Yeah or Nay? https://www.aol.com/finance/massachusetts-governor-leans-skills-based-184858590.html On Thursday, Gov. Maura Healey (D-Mass.) signed an executive order to eliminate “unnecessary” degree requirements from most state job listings. Announcing the change in a speech at the Boston Marriott Newton, Healey expressed her hope that it would encourage the private sector to reevaluate its hiring approaches. Career success, she argued, shouldn’t be exclusive to Massachusetts residents with bachelor’s degrees—which is just shy of half, per the Boston Globe. This executive order “will not only expand our applicant pool, it will get us more talent,” Healey said. “Over time, it will help us build a more inclusive, skilled workforce than ever before.” Per the new order, hiring managers must pay attention to an applicant’s “full set of competencies” beyond simply degree attainment. Going forward, no minimum education levels will be included in the listings of over 90% of state jobs at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sled_Hed Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 I think here about 75% of state jobs have no 4 year school requirements as of last fall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
