Skilled Through Alternative Routes is not just an initiative; it's a revolution in recognizing the value and capability of the over 70 million American workers who lack a bachelor's degree yet are equipped with diverse and robust skill sets.
In this episode, we shed light on the challenges that state governments face in recruitment and workforce development, diving into the myriad of talents brought to the table by veterans, self-taught individuals, and those with on-the-job training.
