Federal Hiring Reform: Skills Over Degrees for Government Jobs.
This act changes how the federal government hires employees. Instead of focusing solely on educational degrees, agencies will now prioritize specific skills and experience. This means citizens with relevant qualifications, even without a degree, may have better opportunities for federal employment.
Key points
Reduced emphasis on education: Federal agencies can only require a degree if legally necessary for the job.
Increased focus on skills: Job descriptions and postings will highlight specific skills and competencies.
New assessment methods: Agencies must use diverse assessment methods, not just educational attainment or self-evaluations.
