What a splendid way to promote talent and potential into the jobs of tomorrow.
Great start.
“Trump wants federal hiring to focus on skills over degrees...”
Oops...that let’s out about 75% of current federal employees.
As a former Fed I completely agree with this effort. When I hired I looked at experience before I looked at a degree. However, if experience appeared equal then I did look to see who had more formal schooling as a tie breaker at times.
Wow. Positive Trump news from the AP!
Absolutely right Mr. PDJT!
Might I add....... forget Quota’s etc., - that’s just pure Lunacy!
... For the nation’s largest employer...
Well, there’s your problem right there.
Needs to make Mike Rowe part of his cabinet!
You read my mind. Mike Rose would be a great asset!
I’m a Fed. My 21 year old son with a freshly minted BS degree in Accounting/Business but no real office job experience is applying for federal jobs right now—this is bad timing for him :)
It will be interesting to see how the Executive Order deals with this new policy combined with Veterans Preference, Disabled Preference, etc.
A degree has been a silent ceiling that has locked talent out of white-collar management positions for a few decades now. Equating management ability to longevity as a paid student. Well-endowed universities and their virtue-signaling grads hit hardest.
It's an economic abomination that the central government is the nation's largest employer. Trump should be directing his daughter to cut back and optimize rather than expand and diversify the central government.
Also, plenty of bureaucrats have minimal higher learning experience as is. Does this lady think all would be engineers need to posses is how to construct lego sets? Screw this inclusion crap.
We should not hire people with math and science education, that is racist after what happened to Floyd or something something Ivanka and crew is pandering.
As it should be. Our former boss refused to hire several people from within our company because they didnt have the degree. Well qualified, good people. Instead brought people in externally who essentially screw up the system and make things worse, but hey, they had those degrees...
I thought the correct answer was "I'm applying for a government job. Working with stupid people is part of the job description."
What do you do for a living, may I ask?
