Tear Up the Paper Ceiling

The paper ceiling is a phrase used to describe the career limitations that bachelor’s degree requirements can have on U.S. workers. With more than 70 million people skilled through alternative routes—or STARs—there is a huge talent pool going untapped. In this episode of the Unstoppable Together Podcast, host Jennie Brooks talks to Bridgette Gray, the Chief Customer Officer at the nonprofit Opportunity@Work. Learn how we can all shift our mindset when considering candidates and specifically what Bridgette thinks government contractors can do now in light of the bachelor’s degree requirements stemming from the federal government.
