Connect the Pieces

the learning gold rush →Stake  support3 Years AgoTODAY

A commitment to open standards can dramatically improve how job seekers, employers, and talent providers collaborate and communicate.

THE BENEFITS
of open standards

This commitment can lead to HR innovation, better prepared training partners, and public policy for  infrastructure that prioritizes workers’ needs.

          • Translate their proven abilities to new roles through portable records
          • Access details about increasingly dynamic hiring requirements
          • Discover and choose pathways towards advancement
          • Get intelligent recommendations for relevant opportunities
          • Experience a more equitable hiring process
          • Feel rewarded for learning new skills

          “Traditional hiring processes too often exclude job candidates that have the skills and experiences needed to thrive in an increasingly global economy. A skills-based talent marketplace would open up opportunities for workers and learners without degrees and enable employers to source talent equitably from a larger, more diverse pool of candidates."
