Recognizing Prior Learning for Faster Employment
This act aims to help adults and dislocated workers find jobs more easily by recognizing their existing knowledge and skills. Through new assessments, work experience, military service, or prior education can be converted into credentials or credits, speeding up their return to the workforce. Companies will be encouraged to hire based on skills, not just degrees.
