The job hunt isn't only difficult for the candidate, but also for the company, especially with outdated hiring practices. Here's how to stay current: buff.ly/2K3PJOw via @TechRepublic#OpportunityatWork
I learn something every time I discuss the #futureofwork, learning, and our economy with @OpptyatWork’s @byron_auguste. Worth watching these 2 minutes on “re-wiring the labor market” to make lifelong learning—and earning—a reality for more Americans: x.com/byron_auguste/status/1…
Right now, there are more than 500,000 open #techjobs. In order to avoid a #skillsgap crisis, we need to change hiring practices and expand opps so people who can do the jobs get the jobs.
SO. INSPIRING.
THANK YOU, @kenzanmedia, @envisiontech and @GE_Digital for sharing valuable insights on jobs in tech to GA Providence's Web Development students yesterday! We think it was an extremely informative Q&A, and hope you enjoyed participating in it as much as we did!
We're inspired by individuals like Wilkin, whose story is one of overcoming barriers and refusing to let his talents go to waste. Learn how he was #TechHired in Rhode Island: buff.ly/2MnE7Ic#OpportunityatWork
Now more U.S. job openings (6.7M) than unemployed actively seeking jobs (6.35M).
Perfect time to re-wire the labor market ...
... to bring discouraged workers and overlooked talent off the sidelines into #career-path #jobs.
Skills > Pedigree
As soon as we make this truth a reality, #skillsgap days are numbered.
Insightful @SHRM report contrasts acceptance of non-BA skills markers in survey vs. continued credential inflation in job descriptions. 🤔

Now is the time to create a new lane in the labor market—which allows anyone to show what they can do. We need to "screen in" based on performance, not "screen out" based on pedigree. fortune.com/2018/06/26/fortu…#CEOInitiative#futureofwork
“We’re very pleased to announce this morning a series of grants to grow our efforts to support opportunity onramps for people.” - @GayatriAgnew@Workday and @OpptyatWork are proud to work with LinkedIn & others to launch the Opportunity Onramps community: buff.ly/2Fr5Y5O
Appreciating engagement of leading CEOs @FortuneMagazine#CEOInitiative.
Here's the truth: everyone in this room was successful in part thanks to:
✅Coaching & guidance
✅Investment in their learning
✅Chances (hiring, promotion) to show skills
Give all Americans an @OpptyatWorkx.com/OpptyatWork/status/101…
