READ - Overcoming the Challenges to Skills-Based Hiring
Recent studies show most employers, including government entities, are moving toward skills-based hiring. In the fast-paced, ever-changing workspaces of today’s job market, skills matter more than ever.
However, those same reports show that many HR personnel still rely on resumes and degrees for making hiring decisions. This could be for many reasons, chief of which is that they have no alternative. The systems they need to base for hiring on skills instead are simply not available to them.
Educators embrace skills-based certifications, employees access robust Personal Evidence Records. Yet, employers must actively seek and understand these documents for effective hiring. Fortunately, employers have options in hiring for skills.
Join us at 1EdTech’s Learning Impact Conference 2024 in Salt Lake City, Utah, where Edalex’s Principal Skills Consultant, Margo Griffith, will be joining Richard Copeland, Supervisor of Teacher Quality at the Georgia Department of Education (Virtual School), and Kathryn Green, Director of Project Management at Unicon, Inc., in a panel discussion titled "Learning Impact 2024 - We Are More than Our Grades: A Digital Recognition Lens."
