Thank you to the #PaidFamilyLeaveWorkingGroup for your commitment to advancing national paid leave policies. IBM is proud to be among this group and a voice for how to move this critical issue forward.
Supporting American families remains a priority in Congress. That's why the bipartisan #PaidFamilyLeaveWorkingGroup held 6 fact-finding meetings to chart the path forward. Today, we are announcing our progress toward the next phase — policy recommendations in the coming months.

Using #AI for deceptive election campaigning not only poses a direct threat to our system of government, it also erodes society’s trust in tech. @IBM welcomes the bipartisan Protect Elections from Deceptive AI Act led by @SenAmyKlobuchar: ibm.com/policy/ibm-welcomes-…

We’re thrilled to see a legislation removing college degree requirements for #cybersecurity jobs advance in the House. A skills-first approach to hiring will help the U.S. close the talent gap and provide pathways to good paying jobs for more Americans.
Passed 3 bills out of Oversight this afternoon, two of them unanimously! 🙌🇺🇸

IBM has been a leader in skills first hiring, and today over 50% of our U.S. job postings don't require a 4-year college degree. Now, almost 20% of our U.S. hires join without a degree. Thank you @virginiafoxx @BobbyScott for leading this important hearing
Rethinking the definition of success: Nearly two-thirds of Americans aged 25 & older don't possess a bachelor’s degree. Employers are finding that skills-based hiring can broaden their talent pipeline & help them identify qualified workers they would have otherwise overlooked.
