Learners and earners already face inequitable outcomes due to incompatible education and employment systems. When resumes, syllabi, and job descriptions are misaligned, it's hard to know what job seekers have, educators provide, and employers need.
A massive shift in the demand for skills is upon us. Half of all employees will need to learn new skills by 2025 as demand moves from physical and cognitive to technical and social/emotional. We need equitable, interoperable systems built to inform and empower the individual.
Studies of job descriptions show that technology is increasing the pace of change at an accelerating rate across industries. Hiring systems that don’t connect to education and training will leave workers and learners in the dust. We need Hire Standards!
A commitment to open standards can dramatically improve how job seekers, employers, and talent providers collaborate and communicate.
Employers are well-positioned to influence the economic mobility of their current and future employees with a commitment to open standards.
This commitment can lead to HR innovation, better prepared training partners, and public policy for infrastructure that prioritizes workers’ needs.
