What if I told you your credentials mean nothing? We're seeing a trend in which employers are looking less at candidates' credentials and more at the SKILLS they bring to the table. I'm not talking about so-called "hard skills," like licenses or coding. Rather, HR leaders are considering qualities like adaptability and openness to learn. Even if candidates may not check every box for a particular posting, many companies are willing to consider non-traditional employees who can benefit from an organization's upskilling programs. What kinds of upskilling and reskilling programs are you offering? #HRTech #SHRMAIHI #ArtificialIntelligence #FutureOfWork #Upskilling #Reskilling

Embracing adaptability and lifelong learning can transform your workforce. Investing in upskilling programs benefits both employees and the organization.
Valid for not just USA. Lifelong learning is so critical for all ages groups and countries.
It’s giving another way to justify moving the goal post. Now all of a sudden candidates don’t need creditials, degrees in specific fields, experience etc. It leaves room for the hiring process to be even more subjective rather than objective which is the problem in the first place.
Focusing on skills over credentials opens up a world of potential, Jim. Upskilling and reskilling programs are essential to harness this potential.

2wAnd you don't think earning certain credentials is indicative of an openness to learn? Someone going out of their way to do a program or course on a topic that leads to come kind of certification being issued? It wasn't required, they did it for their own enrichment? Weird how it's almost baked into the cake isn't it? Or do a "credentials and hard skills don't matter, just have a good attitude" post for clicks- I mean, that works really well on this platform.
