A5: (1/2) @OpptyatWork has coined the term STARs (workers Skilled Through Alternative Routes) to describe workers without a 4-year degree.
They have skills. We just need to recognize them for it.

Hi everyone.
Please remember to use the hashtag #TalkAboutWork in all your responses.
#WordsofWorkforce is great, too (referring to the field guide), but the main one people should be following for this chat is #TalkAboutWork.

A3: Organizations and journalists should #TalkAboutWork from the lens of inclusion so that we don’t use language to devalue our workers.
That’s why we collaborated with orgs like @WorkingNation and @National_Fund to publish #WordsofWorkforce.
