G1 | Microsoft doesn't require a college degree for entry-level jobs — here's what the company looks for instead, according to execs
|
| 03/05/2020 | |
|
By not requiring certain credentials for entry-level jobs, Microsoft is able to recruit from a broader talent base and build diversity into its workforce. Many people who have non-STEM backgrounds have shown that they can introduce different perspectives to workplace discussions and decisions. The company has recognized that “soft skills like teamwork and curiosity, as well as a candidate’s willingness to self-train and learn quickly” are important indicators of high-performance individuals. Some managers believe that the fact that a non-degreed person applies for an entry-level job signals a level of tenacity and desire that is worthy of consideration. |
G2 | Ad Council campaign from White House task force will tout alternatives to bachelor's degree
|
| 02/24/2020 | |
|
A yearlong ad campaign led by the Ad Council in association with the White House, Apple, and IBM will “shine a light on how young and working adults can develop the skills in demand for today’s job market…while also seeking to raise awareness of the wide variety of educational options available, such as coding bootcamps, on-the-job apprenticeships, certifications, associate’s degrees and more." The ad campaign, originally set to run through 2020, will promote awareness that many well-paying career paths are open to non-degreed persons. It is in line with the administration’s view that the 4-year degree is only one option to consider. The article also discusses the possible effects of such a campaign influencing people who would benefit from college into lower-income career paths. |
G3 | Millennials Show Loyalty to Employers
|
| 02/19/2020 | |
|
The article reports on survey results indicating that “younger employees, entering their prime working years are…as loyal to their employers as the generation before them…” Millennials working now are demonstrating the same tendency to stay with their employers as GenerationX was showing in 2002. A survey by Prudential recently reported that “60% of millennials had worked for their employer for three or more years” and nearly half wanted to work for their current employer for another 5 years. Reasons for changing employers, however, still include improving skills, perceived ceilings in the current role, and more money. |
